Open Heart
How did I make it to the end of the day when I could see it coming from a mile away?
Like a fast car, headed for a brick wall. The instant of shock before a great fall
Tension and care, making do on my own
If you can't be prepared, gotta live and let go
The notion you learn from the hurt beneath your feet
The feeling I'm here by the skin of my teeth
The people I've been and the proving scars
I've gone through life with an open heart
Against my will, got forced to move slow
Like the rug pulled out, a lift put on hold
A little time lost but perspective gained
A season of loss to bring positive change
Tension and care, making do on my own
If you can't be prepared, gotta live and let go
The notion you learn from the hurt beneath your feet
The feeling I'm here by the skin of my teeth
The people I've been and the proving scars
I've gone through life with an open heart
