Heart Shaped Hole

The shots rang out, they were only words
But words can cut like bullets
And the story that I heard
Was the exit wound was a heart shaped hole
That left a body standing
But paralyzed a soul

We all know exactly how it feels
To have a wound that never heals

Everyone I know has a heart shaped hole
Where something rare and precious used to live
No matter what you do
You can always feel the wind blow through
Your heart shaped hole

The heart shaped hole, it cuts both ways
The victor and the victim
Both have a price to pay
And the damage done is swift and sure
Two heart shaped holes and broken souls
For two hearts to endure

We all know exactly how it feels
To inflict a wound that never heals

Everyone I know has a heart shaped hole
Where something rare and precious used to live
No matter what you do
You can always feel the wind blow through
Your heart shaped hole

So we tend our wounds instead of opening our hearts
Gotta let one story end so another can start

Everyone I know has a heart shaped hole
Where something rare and precious used to live
But if you give it time
Maybe you can let your bright light shine
Into that place you've hidden deep inside your soul
Let your light shine through your heart shaped hole
