lyrics

I know,
you got a broken heart to heal
and you want me to help you stop the wheel
of endless suffering that you feel
and I know,
I know...
There's a longing you just can't conceal,
it's a burning longing to reveal
a love that's strong and sharp and real
and I know,
I know...

You say,
"Life ain't nothin' but a barren field
where all your best dreams the bastards steal."
You say,
"Deliver me from a world unreal!"
And I know,
I know...
So you're giving me a broken heart to heal
and you're giving up a love that just ain't real,
well I'm giving you this open heart to feel
and I know,
I know...
