Verse
Oh our story always starts so promising
Then something will go awry
Yes something will go awry
What began ideal will simmer down to real
And these heights are not quite so high
No these heights are not quite so high
To what do I choose to bind
To what do I choose to bind
Will it break or be embraced
Be it treasured or laid to waste
Be it pleasure or pain I taste
This is my heart
This is my heart
Oh
Instrumental
Verse
Now the storm ensues and I am overcome
Oh to struggle or be subdued
Oh to fight or be left to lose
And the choice to leave is mine to give away
But to what do I hold onto
But to what do I hold onto
Though in pieces I push on through
Oh to what do I hold onto
Will it break or be embraced
Be it treasured or laid to waste
Be it pleasure or pain I taste
This is my heart
This is my heart
When the darkness lies in wait
Or the light promises to break
Be it heaven or hell I face
This is my heart
This is my heart
Bridge
Oh the rush goes
And the flame slows
Oh the wear shows
But do we give way
Oh I can never fathom how I stay
Oh I can never fathom how I stay
Instrumental
Will it break or be embraced
Be it treasured or laid to waste
Be it pleasure or pain I taste
This is my heart
This is my heart
When the darkness lies in wait
Or the light promises to break
Be it heaven or hell I face
This is my heart
This is my heart
