i see that look that's in your eyes
that says "i must keep most of me inside
cuz you'd never love me if i didnt hide the secrets of my heart"
well im not here for the surface stuff
just get bored with all that fluff
so show me the edges even if its rough
and let the real love start

you've got a whole heart
give me the hard part
i can love that too

you think your shame and deep disgrace
are more than i can bear
but you can go to your darkest place
i will meet you there

im strong enough to take it
and i know what you've been through
you've got a whole heart
give me the hard part
i can love that too

you look at me with some surprise
and i see the doubt thats in your eyes
like something deep inside you cries
with a hunger to be known

like a tiger born in a city zoo
there's been no place for what's inside of you
you try to live like the others do
and it leaves you so alone

i know you think that heat of your pain
is more than i can stand
burn it all in one big flame
and i will hold it in my hand

im strong enough to take it
and i know what you've been through
you got a whole heart
give me the hard part
i can love that too
