Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I feel it burn, like it’s near the sun
And I see the stars, when I hear you come
And I know what’s ours, compares to none
But I know your scars, and what your fear becomes
Still, I believe in you to be the one to see me through
And feed on what I feel for you in every way conceivable
But, all I need from you is faith in me to speak to you
In every way believable, I’d make this planet bleed for you
But, you gotta break free from the past and be all you are
Here I am, you better take me, it’s crazy, this much is true
That I know that I’m the one for you
Exploding heart, what have they done to you
They picked your soul apart, that’s why you run from you
And now you know the dark, you’ve made it comfortable
And I found myself in your doubtful web, entangled, trapped in love with you
And, now you kick and you scream and you panic
When you realize the point that we’ve come to
You, silly girl, don’t you know – that I could make all your dreams come true
If, if you let me in, I won’t let you hurt and it’s not about letting me win
It’s about how to live, how to fly
How to be what you are and kill the pain you’ve been getting within
And you’re under my skin in a way that I feel like
You run through my veins in a way that is dreamlike
Come, come away in my arms, you will see light
Run from the pain and the numbness that seems like
Seems like it’s supposedly safe
But it sucks at your heart, keeps your soul in a cage
And your hope is enchained by this crippling self doubt
Have faith, I’ll help you figure yourself out
[Pre-hook]
Exploding heart, exploding heart
Your love can wash this pain away
In love and I’m so shameless
I asked God for inspiration and she sent you my way
[Hook]
So maybe this just had to be
The silver lining in a self destructive tragedy
When you’re drowning, it’s a struggle trying to stay afloat
Keep the faith cause every struggle has its ray of hope
And not a thing, not a preacher nor a god above
It took your big exploding heart to teach me how to love
Know the timing isn’t perfect but it’s still okay
Cause we know that it would kill to see it slip away
[Verse 2]
Fuck this up and it’s your mistake
Cause what I have for you is only yours to take
And I stand my ground, still it’s your’s to shake
And I know this heart is only your’s to break
Your’s to break, and it’s beating loud
And my soul just aches, cause I need you now
So I cut this heart out of my chest, it’s yours, it’s yours to hold
It’s yours to have, to stay alive, so make it yours before yours explodes
And I need you to see that I need you to breathe, in more ways than one
What you’ve needed from me is a way to be free
So I need you to feel this crazy love
And I’m brave enough, to fight your battles
To kill your demons and I might just have to
Kill the dragon and strike the castle
And save your soul with a righteous passion
Either numb, or you’re scarred and bruised
And I know how it feels when you’re so confused
But when you’ve got no more hope to lose
What’s a big exploding heart to do
[Pre-hook]
Exploding heart, exploding heart
Your love can wash this pain away
In love and I’m so shameless
I asked God for inspiration and she sent you my way
[Hook]
Ah, yeah
So maybe this just had to be
The silver lining in a self destructive tragedy
When you’re drowning, it’s a struggle trying to stay afloat
Keep the faith cause every struggle has its ray of hope
And not a thing, not a preacher nor a god above
It took your big exploding heart to teach me how to love
Know the timing isn’t perfect but it’s still okay
Cause we know that it would kill to see it slip away
