[Verse 1:] You found me on the streets 5 steps from queens With my hat out Begging oh I’m begging please Climbed the mezzanine The edge of broken dreams Before I jumped Saw your hand reach down for me
Pulling on my strings Falling on my knees Nothing left to speak I’m at your mercy Heart of a lion Gave it all I can If I’m calm as a riot Why stay and keep trying
[Chorus:] I’m holding on Holding my tongue Cause I was wrong Love broke my heart wide open Love broke my heart wide open I’m holding on Holding my tongue Cause I was wrong This is my song Love broke my heart wide open Love broke my heart wide open
Love broke my heart wide open Love broke my heart wide open Love broke my heart wide open Love broke my heart wide open
[Verse 2:] When I feel defeat That’s when I hear you speak One touch of your hand And it gives me peace Now that I can sing The sun ray of spring Like a warm coat Arms stretched over me
Pulling on my strings Falling on my knees Nothing left to speak I’m at your mercy Heart of a lion Gave it all I can If I’m calm as a riot Why stay and keep trying
[Chorus]
[Bridge:] Cold but I love how your arms they hold me Cold but I love how your arms they hold me Love wide open, love wide open Oh how ye love broke my heart wide open Love wide open, love wide open Oh how ye love broke my heart wide open
