lyrics

They say time heals all things
But it seems the clock stopped moving
I hid from the truth for too long
Fighting for something long gone

It’s all just so bittersweet
In losing love to be complete
They say it’s just part of life
To break your heart to free your mind

So baby let me feel it all
I want to rise so I can fall
And build myself back up again
You have to lose before you win
Take my heart, rip it in two
This change has been long overdue
I’m tired of just playing it safe
Here’s my heart for you to break

I tried to stand so tall
Scared to rock the boat and lose it all
Force it all to stay the same
But I lost control when you began to change

(Honestly) But honestly
(Never see) I could never see
(I am more) That I am more
(Was before) Than I was before
(Take my soul) So take my soul
(All control) Take all control
(Let me be) And let me be
Free

So baby let me feel it all
I want to rise so I can fall
And build myself back up again
You have to lose before you win
Take my heart, rip it in two
This change has been long overdue
I’m tired of just playing it safe
Here’s my heart for you to break

I’ll never know what I did
To deserve this
But I’m stronger for it
I may have cried in the past
But I know it won’t last
Cuz I am stronger for this

So baby let me feel it all
I want to rise so I can fall
And build myself back up again
You have to lose before you win
Take my heart, rip it in two
This change has been long overdue
I’m tired of just playing it safe
Here’s my heart for you to break
