Senses Fail - The Courage of an Open Heart lyrics

Sometimes I get so silent
I can hear my heartbeat
Sometimes I get so silent
The memories come back to me

But now I know
There is suffering no one should have to feel
Hiding the truth
Because it wasn’t safe to be
Open with who I was, it left me in agony
The shame, the sadness
The darkness surrounded every part
Of my being

I had no compassion, no love for myself
There was no relief
Except in thoughts of death
Except in thoughts of death
I have learned to love myself
I have learned to care
I have learned to make peace
With the sadness and despair

I had no compassion, no love for myself
There was no relief
Except in thoughts of death

Oh

I was so alone, buried in sadness
Love dragged me out of it
So alone, buried in sadness
Love dragged me out of it

I want to love with the
Courage of an open heart
I want to love with the
Courage of an open heart

I want to love with the
Courage of an open heart
I want to love with the
Courage of an open heart
