"To Love And To Lose"

I can keep
The shutters down
Close the blinds and pretend
That I live in a ghost town

I can hide
In my own mind
Ignore all the world and say
How can I see when I'm blind?

[chorus]
You open my eyes
To see deep in the wound
The distance between the two shores
I'm starting to see
That to be alive at all
Is for my heart to hurt like Yours
Like Yours

It's a risk
Putting your heart on the floor
When you give your love out
And know that it might be ignored

So I can see
How it must feel to be like You
Just a grocery-list God
We half-heartedly come to
When You've given it all

[chorus]
You open my eyes
To see deep in the wound
The distance between the two shores
I'm starting to see
That to be alive at all
Is for my heart to hurt like Yours
For my heart to break like Yours

We can't hide away
Afraid to be scarred
To love and to lose
Is to be who You are
To be who You are

[chorus]
