  • I wrote your name upon my heart
    So I'd remember if ever we should part
    When I got lost inside life's game
    I'd look into my heart and find your name

    A man in fetters would die of shame
    I wrote these letters that spell your name
    I carved your name upon my soul
    For I was broken 'til you came to make me whole

    When I got lost, outside the frame
    I'd look inside my heart, I read your name
    A man in fetters would die of shame
    I wrote these letters

    I wrote your name upon my soul
    For I was broken, 'til you came to make me whole
    When I got lost outside the frame
    I'd look inside my heart and there I read your name

    I scrawled my number, upon your wall
    I'd lie awake at night, just waiting on your call
    If you came back to me in no seconds flat
    I'd raise my hands and shout, Amen to that

    A man in fetters will die of shame
    I wrote these letters that spell your name
    When I was down and out, no one else to blame
    I'd look inside my heart

    I wrote your name, upon my heart
    So I'd remember if ever we should part
    When I got lost inside life's game
    I'd look into my heart and find your name
    I carved your name upon my soul
    For I was broken until you came to make me whole
    When I got lost outside the frame
    I'd look inside my heart and there I'd read your name, hey

    I wrote your name
    I wrote your name
    Upon my heart Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
