Lyrics
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
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
