Best Hearts

Oh-oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

I want somebody who has been through hell To tell me that I'm gonna be alright Advice, it never really sits that well Unless it's coming from someone whose lost the fight

I wanna hear from the sinners, the quitters, the late night admitters That they've done more wrong than done right The honest, the assessment, how they learned their lessons The hard way and still found the light

The best hearts are broken The best hearts are broken So Lord, I pray that I can love Like the ones who've been destroyed, stood back up And so I stayed open The best hearts are broken

I lost my mother, age of 25 The color left my face and left my life It took me years of feeling half alive Before my eyes could see past all the black and white

And you know that my friends we are battered We're broken, we're shattered We're bruised but we're still standing up The beauty, the magic, the terror, the tragic The cost of admission for love

The best hearts are broken The best hearts are broken So Lord, I pray that I can love Like the ones who've been destroyed, stood back up So I stayed open The best hearts are broken

Give me the courage, let me feel it all Stand in the fire and not build the walls When this heart of mine starts to find reasons That it should be closing And remember that pain is the place the light enters I came to this earth to grow bigger, love better The path of a lover is hard, it's one that I've chosen

The best hearts are broken (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

The best hearts are broken (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh) The best hearts are broken (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)

So I stay open The best hearts are broken The best hearts are broken
