[Verse 1] I saw it on your face That hard little wall Like you were bracing for a fight Before the first word falls Your eyes were full of storms Your hands were clenched so tight I knew the hurt was living there Beneath the need to bite [Pre-Chorus] And I stood there wishing I could reach inside Pull out every thorn And give you back your light [Chorus] I want to heal your heart Heal your heart I want to heal your heart Before it falls apart If I could take your fear Take your fear I’d carry it away Till love came clear [Verse 2] The room got cold with words That never should have grown Each sharp thing passed around Like it had a place to own And I just watched you burn In the shape of yesterday Hating like a wound That never got away [Pre-Chorus] And I stood there wishing I could reach inside Touch the broken places And make them soft tonight [Chorus] I want to heal your heart Heal your heart I want to heal your heart Before it falls apart If I could take your fear Take your fear I’d carry it away Till love came clear [Bridge] Maybe rage is only grief With nowhere left to go Maybe every closed-up door Was a place that hurt you so So let me be a hand Let me be a flame Something small and human That calls you by your name [Final Chorus] I want to heal your heart Heal your heart I want to heal your heart Before it falls apart If I could take your fear Take your fear I’d carry it away Till love came clear Heal your heart Heal your heart I want to heal the world One open heart
