The Courage Of An Open Heart

(álbum: Pull The Thorns From Your Heart - 2015)

Sometimes I get so silent
I can hear my heartbeat
Sometimes I get so silent
The memories come back to me

But now I know, there is suffering no one should have to feel
Hiding the truth, because it wasn't safe to be
Open with who I was, it left me in agony
The shame, the sadness, the darkness surrounded every part of my being

I had no compassion, no love for myself
There was no relief, except in thoughts of death
Except in thoughts of death

I have learned to love myself, I have learned to care
I have learned to make peace with the sadness and despair

I had no compassion, no love for myself, there was no relief
Except in thoughts of death

Oh

So alone, buried in sadness, love dragged me out of it
So alone, buried in sadness, love dragged me out of it

I want to love, I want to love with, the courage of an open heart
I want to love, I want to love with, the courage of an open heart

I want to love, I want to love with, the courage of an open heart
I want to love, I want to love with, the courage of an open heart
