You stripped your love down to the wire 00:47
Fire shy and cold alone outside 00:50
You stripped it right down to the wire 00:54
But I see you behind those tired eyes 00:58
Now as you wade through shadows that live in your heart 01:02
You'll find the light that leads home 01:06
Cause I see you for you and your beautiful scars 01:10
So take my hand, don't let go 01:15
Cause it's not too late, it's not too late 01:19
I, I see the hope in your heart 01:24
And sometimes you lose and sometimes you're shooting 01:27
Broken arrows in the dark 01:32
But I, I see the hope in your heart 01:36
01:40
I've seen the darkness in the light 02:15
The kind of blue that leaves you lost and blind 02:19
The only thing that's black and white 02:24
Is that you don't have to walk alone this time 02:27
We have to tear down walls that live in your heart 02:31
To find someone you call home 02:35
Now you see me for me and my beautiful scars 02:39
So take my hand, don't let go 02:43
Cause it's not too late, it's not too late 02:48
I, I see the hope in your heart 02:53
And sometimes you lose and sometimes you're shooting 02:56
Broken arrows in the dark 03:01
But I, I see the hope in your heart 03:04
03:09
It's not too late, it's not too late 03:40
I see the hope in your heart 03:44
Sometimes you're losing, sometimes shooting 03:48
Broken arrows in the dark 03:53
Hohoo 03:56
03:59

[English]

You stripped your love down to the wire
Fire shy and cold alone outside
You stripped it right down to the wire
But I see you behind those tired eyes
Now as you wade through shadows that live in your heart
You'll find the light that leads home
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 and 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 and sometimes you're shooting
Broken arrows in the dark
But I, I see the hope in your heart

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
Hohoo
