lyrics

You’ve seen hard times
You’ve seen unspeakable things
You’ve seen heart aches
You’ve seen unbreakable things
Crack and shatter Under heavy heavy weights
Crack and shatter Into countless flakes

The things that made you stronger are the things you thought would break you
The things that made you weaker are the things you thought would save you

This one’s for the moment when you go through the fire
When you’re pulled to pieces and you can’t go further
I will hold on to you til you get back together
I will sing over you until your heart is better

You’ve seen day dreams Fly away on silver wings
While your heart strings Are anchored to iron things
And you used to sing Louder than everything
And you still sing Overpowered by clamoring

The things that made you stronger are the things you thought would break you
The things that made you weaker are the things you thought would save you

This one’s for the moment when you go through the fire
When you’re pulled to pieces and you can’t go further
I will hold on to you til you get back together
I will sing over you until your heart is better

Nothing takes your strength away like love
Love will push down and pull you up
Love will take your best and leave you dry
Love with make you rich then rob you blind
Right now it hurts but wait and you will find
Love is what heals everything in time
