Red Heart

Were you born in water,

A fish so cold?

Were you born in autumn,

As the river froze?

Cause you shut up

And you're shut in

And i know that

You've got your reasons

But even still, listen:

Honey, let your red heart show

Won't you? won't you? can't you?

Were you born a closed book,

Full of secret lines? (and bound so tight)

Or did you learn to lock it,

As not to break your spine? (oh! you were bound so tight)

Cause you shut up

And you're all shut inside

And i wanted to get you smiling

And maybe once in awhile you could try

And maybe let your red heart show

Come on

Won't you let your red heart show?

Won't you let your red heart show?

Don't you let your red heart go cold

Don't you let your red heart go cold

We were given so much and we let it go

We were given so much and we're getting old

We were promised so much but we let it go

We were promised so much and it's going i know

But you look so good when you're laughing you know

Yeah you know you look so good when you let it show

Honey you look so good when you're laughing

(oh!)
