  • I thought I was doing all right being alone
    I swore I'd never let somebody get close again, oh, oh, oh
    I was never gonna let my guard down, not for anyone
    But there's a light in your eyes and it's got me moving in, oh
    And tonight these walls are all coming down

    And my heart is open
    I'm lettin' you in
    'Cause you give me a reason and the faith I've been needing to start again
    And your love is healing
    I'm finally breathing
    And I've been waiting so long, hoping for this moment
    My heart is open, mm
    Yeah

    These days it seems like everybody's just walking away
    Like there's no forever and love is just a game
    But don't you know that you can believe me when I say that I'm your man

    And my heart is open
    And I'm lettin' you in, baby, oh
    'Cause you give me a reason and the faith I've been needing to start again
    And your love is healing
    I'm finally breathing
    And I've been waiting so long, hoping for this moment
    My heart is open

    I can't wait anymore, no, no
    'Cause I got nothin' left to prove
    And I got so much love for you
    That's why I'm tearing out the walls, and baby, I'm kicking down the doors

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Oh-oh
    Ooh

    And your love is healing
    Baby, I'm finally breathing
    And I can hear you calling, I'm ready to fall in love again
    And my heart is open

    Mm-mm, mm-mm, yeah
    Yeah, my heart is open
    Oh, baby, ooh
    My heart is open (woo)
    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah Writer/s: John Shanks, Keith Urban
