You stripped your love down to the wire Fire shining cold alone outside You stripped it right down to the wire But I see you behind those tired eyes Now as you wade through the shadows that live in your heart You'll find the light that leads on 'Cause I see you for you and your beautiful scars So take my hand, don't let go 'Cause it's not too late, it's not too late I, I see the hope in your heart And sometimes you lose it, sometimes you're shooting Broken arrows in the dark But I, I see the hope in your heart I've seen the darkness in the light The kind of blue that leaves you lost and blind The only thing that's black and white Is that you don't have to walk alone this time We have to tear down walls that live in your heart To find someone you call home Now you see me for me and my beautiful scars So take my hand, don't let go 'Cause it's not too late, it's not too late I, I see the hope in your heart And sometimes you lose it, sometimes you're shooting Broken arrows in the dark But I, I see the hope in your heart Oh It's not too late, it's not too late I see the hope in your heart Sometimes you're losing, sometimes shooting Broken arrows in the dark Oh
