Open Heart

How did I make it to the end of the day
When I could see it coming from a mile away?
Like a fast car,
Headed for a brick wall. The instant shock before a great fall

Tension and care, making do on my own
If you can't be prepared, gotta live and let go

The notion you learn from the hurt beneath your feet
The feeling I'm here by the skin of my teeth
The people I've been and the proving scars
I've gone through life with an open heart

Against my will, got forced to move slow
Like the rug pulled out, a lift put on hold
A little time lost but perspective gained
A season of loss to bring positive change

Tension and care, making do on my own
If you can't be prepared, gotta live and let go

The notion you learn from the hurt beneath your feet
The feeling I'm here by the skin of my teeth
The people I've been and the proving scars
I've gone through life with an open heart
