Angry Heart

(Album: See What You Want To See - 1999)

I held on to the hurt
Wrestled it to the ground
Fought it like heaven and hell
And I lost every round
There wasn't anybody I would trust
So long since I felt love
I'd forgotten what it was

Baby, 'til you got a hold of my angry heart
I saw the truth when you led my way out of the dark
I was dragging 'round these chains like some ghost in the hall
Swearing at the pain and empty from it all
Until you got a hold of my angry heart

Living in the past, locked up with my rage
I built that prison myself and it's such a lonely cage
I started believing I would never heal
Your love changed my life
When I thought my fate was sealed

Baby, you got a hold of my angry heart
I saw the truth when you led my way out of the dark
I was dragging 'round these chains like some ghost in the hall
Swearing at the pain and empty from it all
Until you got a hold of my angry heart

I thought I would disappear without a trace
Until your love washed each teardrop from my face

Baby, you got a hold of my angry heart
I saw the truth when you led my way out of the dark
I was dragging 'round these chains like some ghost in the hall
Swearing at the pain and empty from it all
Until you got a hold of my angry heart
Baby, you got a hold of my heart
