The Heart Is a Muscle

Break me off a piece of that
 And mix it in with a little wine
 With someone warm and smart, I guess
 With a heart in first and a soul behind
 And I won't give in
 
 'Cause I wanna try again
 ♪
 There will be no years of silence in the shadow of regret
 I won't let a soul betray me, though my soul got used to it
 I will look at love as more than just an instrument of pain
 And will give myself completely to the moving and the strange
 'Cause I wanna overcome
 
 And try to love someone
 I will not spend the years depleted of my willingness to try
 It won't hurt this way forever, it ain't worth the overtime
 I'm not looking for redemption or some shallow kinda bliss
 Lay me down and kiss me deeply, show me everything I missed
 I haven't had enough
 
 And I wanna love someone
 ♪
 I will not hurt like this forever, I'm responding the call
 While there's speakers in the outfield blasting out my favourite song
 I will not play this out discreetly, it is real and unashamed
 I am human now and terrified, but want it all the same
 'Cause I wanna overcome
 And try to love someone
 'Cause the heart, the heart, the heart
 The heart is a muscle
 And I wanna make it strong
 'Cause the heart, the heart, the heart
 The heart is a muscle now
 I wanna make it strong
 ♪
 I let bad love betray me once
 And I was barely outta high school then
 And I guess I fear the same result
 And that none will take me as I am
 I wanna be loved, I wanna be whole again
 So tuck my hair behind my ears and touch my soul again
 The window is wide, the post unfulfilled
 And I just ask you to be patient, if you'll have me still
 'Cause I wanna open up
 And try to love someone
 
 'Cause I wanna overcome
 And try to love someone
 The heart, the heart, the heart
 The heart is a muscle
 And the heart, the heart, the heart
 The heart is a muscle now
 The heart, the heart, the heart
 The heart is a muscle now
 I wanna make it strong
