Red Heart Lyrics

were you born in water,
a fish so cold?
were you born in autumn,
as the river froze?
cause you shut up
and you're shut in
and i know that
you've got your reasons
but even still, listen:
honey, let your red heart show

won't you let your red heart show?
won't you let your red heart show?
can't you let your red heart show?

were you born a closed book,
full of secret lines? (and bound so tight)
or did you learn to lock it,
as not to break your spine? (oh! you were bound so tight)
cause you shut up
and you're all shut inside
and i wanted to get you smiling
and maybe once in awhile you could try
and maybe let your red heart show
honey, let your red heart show
come on let your red heart show
come on let your red heart show
won't you let your red heart show?
won't you let your red heart show?
don't you let your red heart go cold
don't you let your red heart go cold
we were given so much and we let it go
we were given so much and we're getting old

we were promised so much but we let it go
we were promised so much and it's going i know
but you look so good when you're laughing you know
yeah you look so good when you let it show
honey you look so good when you're laughing

(oh!)
