Break me off a piece of that

And mix it in with a little wine

With someone warm and smart, I guessWith a heart in first and a soul behind

And I won′t give in

'Cause I wanna try again

There will be no years of silence in the shadow of regret

I won′t let a soul betray me, though my soul got used to it

I will look at love as more than just an instrument of pain

And will give myself completely to the moving and the strange

'Cause I wanna overcome

And try to love someone

I will not spend the years depleted of my willingness to try

It won't hurt this way forever, it ain′t worth the overtime

I′m not looking for redemption or some shallow kinda bliss

Lay me down and kiss me deeply, show me everything I missed

I haven't had enough

And I wanna love someone

I will not hurt like this forever, I′m responding the call

While there's speakers in the outfield blasting out my favourite song

I will not play this out discreetly, it is real and unashamed

I am human now and terrified, but want it all the same

′Cause I wanna overcome

And try to love someone

'Cause the heart, the heart, the heart

The heart is a muscle

And I wanna make it strong

′Cause the heart, the heart, the heart

The heart is a muscle now

I wanna make it strong

I let bad love betray me once

And I was barely outta high school then

And I guess I fear the same result

And that none will take me as I am

I wanna be loved, I wanna be whole again

So tuck my hair behind my ears and touch my soul again

The window is wide, the post unfulfilled

And I just ask you to be patient, if you'll have me still

'Cause I wanna open up

And try to love someone

′Cause I wanna overcome

And try to love someone

The heart, the heart, the heart

The heart is a muscle

And the heart, the heart, the heart

The heart is a muscle now

The heart, the heart, the heart

The heart is a muscle now

I wanna make it strong
