Broken Open

Oh my darling, this is a love song

I wish I'd written a long long time ago

You gave me sunshine, but I was a shadow

I didn't realize my eyes were so damned closed

I didn't know my chest was full of stones

Once a garden how the weeds have grown

You were the medicine that pulled me from the past

Now I'm broken open at last

All of the words I never gave you

I was too afraid to, to let you all in

I didn't want to hurt you or desert you

But I was haunted by a darkness that made your light grow dim

I didn't know my chest was full of stones

Once a garden how the weeds have grown

You were the medicine that pulled me from the past

Now I'm broken open at last

And not a day goes by

when I wish I could go back

To the times I made you cry

And how my heart has shown

That I must atone for the seeds which I have sown

Please forgive me, forgive me

May this song catch the tears

Of all the pain that you have had to bear

Your heart is my heart your hurt is my hurt

And may we both be free from the ghost which led us here

I didn't know my chest was full of stones

Once a garden how the weeds have grown

You were the medicine that pulled me from the past

Now I'm broken open

I'm broken open

I'm broken open at last
