[Verse 1] You look me over fast Like you’ve got all the facts From a stranger’s little glance You build a wall from that One cold word, one sharp look Like a blade through my good name But you never took the time To learn my fire or my pain [Pre-Chorus] We’re all carrying scars Under borrowed smiles If you’d only slow down You might see a while [Chorus] Hands off my heart Hands off my name We all bleed the same We all feel shame Give me respect I’ll give it back Less of the hate More of the grace Hands off my heart Lift somebody up [Verse 2] Someone falls, and you grin Like it proves you were right But a house built on pride Breaks apart every night You can point at the cracks You can feed that dark Or you can be the one Who leaves a light in the heart [Pre-Chorus] We’re all carrying scars Under borrowed smiles If you’d only slow down You might see a while [Chorus] Hands off my heart Hands off my name We all bleed the same We all feel shame Give me respect I’ll give it back Less of the hate More of the grace Hands off my heart Lift somebody up [Bridge] What if kindness was the first word? What if peace came through the door? What if love was louder Than the need to score? Take the knife from your tongue Let it drop to the floor We don’t heal by tearing We heal by wanting more [Chorus] Hands off my heart Hands off my name.... We all bleed the same We all feel shame Give me respect I’ll give it back Less of the hate More of the grace Hands off my heart Lift somebody up [Outro] Lift somebody up Don’t pull them down Less of the hate More of the peace around
