  • When I was a child I was frozen as a stone
    Scared to take a risk and fail even in my home
    I didn't know what to do with my sensitivity
    So I just buried it down six feet deep

    And the worst kinda hurt is to fail but not understand
    Yeah, the worst kinda hurt is to think it's out of your hands
    Baby, we got bigger plans

    Let it hurt, let it bleed
    Let it be the fuel you need
    To tell the truth, I know it's hard
    But it's harder to cover up your heart
    With one million little bandaids

    Honesty is oxygen to a seeking soul
    The freedom that I'm craving is at war with my control
    And every judgment builds an arsenal around my heart
    And now where I sleep it's cold and dark

    And the worst kinda hurt is to feel but not understand
    Yeah, the worst kinda hurt is to think it's out of your hands
    Baby, we got bigger plans

    Let it hurt, let it bleed
    Let it be the fuel you need
    Let the sun see your scars
    Who told you that it was brave to live
    With a lonely heart?
    With a lonely heart (with a lonely heart)
    With a lonely heart
    With a lonely heart

    Let it hurt, let it bleed, let it be the fuel you need
    Let the sunlight see your scars, you ain't gotta live with a lonely heart
    Let it go, let it fly, can't be worse than what you've tried
    Let the sunlight see your scars, you ain't gotta live with a lonely heart
    Let it hurt, let it bleed, let it be the fuel you need
    Let the sunlight see your scars, you ain't gotta live with a lonely heart

    So tell the truth, I know it's hard
    But it's harder to cover up your heart
