I have this heart that yearns too much
It’s what they’ve always said
All of my life I’ve longed too much
For endless things I can’t give up
Must be a heart that needs too much
Who’s looking for the same
Someone like me who’s seen enough
Of promises that turned to dust
Give me your heart
I need your heart
And I will love you
I’ll never change who you are
Give me, give me your heart
I have these arms that hold too tight
They pushed the world away
And eyes that have seen a million lies
And hands that have waived a thousand good-byes
Is there a heart that longs to trust
Who hasn’t found its way
Someone like me, afraid to touch
The emptiness they can’t fill up
Give me your heart
I need your heart
And I will love you
I’ll never change who you are
Give me, give me your heart
Hold too tight and want too much
And love too hard each time we love
If there was something I could do
I never found the answer to it all
Not at all
I have this heart that yearns too much
It’s what they’ve always said
All of my life I’ve longed too much
For endless things I can’t give up
Give me a heart that feels too much
Who’s looking for the same
And I’ll give you a heart that will care too much
It will hold you close
And never turn away
