[Verse 1] They told me like rain Like news from a door But it hit my body Like a fist to the floor It bent me in half It emptied the room I wanted my skin To slip off with the gloom [Pre-Chorus] We spoke the night before Your laugh still in my ear Then morning broke wrong And the whole world split here [Chorus] I carry your heart I carry your heart I carry your heart Where my blood learns to start They can say you are gone I still know you live on I carry your heart I carry your heart [Verse 2] Some mornings still rise Like nothing was torn Then your name hits me fresh Like a house in a storm I stand at the sink And the truth turns to sand Thirty years of your life Still fits in my hand [Pre-Chorus] I reach for your voice In the shape of the day And grief says, not now But I answer, stay [Chorus] I carry your heart I carry your heart I carry your heart Where my blood learns to start They can say you are gone I still know you live on I carry your heart I carry your heart [Bridge] If love is a room Then you never moved out You hang in the air In the edge of my doubt And when I am split By the weight of the hole I close my eyes, son And you knit up my soul [Final Chorus] I carry your heart-- I carry your heart-- I carry your heart... Through the wreck and the dark If my mouth forgets how My whole life knows how I carry your heart I carry your heart... for always in my heart...
