Unchain My Heart

[Verse 1]
You trace my scars
Like reading weather on old stone
Say
"You were built to break"
Then you leave me here alone
Shadows on the ceiling
Keep replaying what you said
Every small forgiveness
Hangs like thunder in my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my hands at my sides
So I don't reach for you again
You keep your eyes on the night
Like I'm just something you outgrew
[Chorus]
Unchain my heart
If you're gonna walk away
Don't drag me through your dark
Then turn and call it grace
If you don't love these restless parts
Set them free
Tear me apart
Love me and stay
Or unchain my heart
[Verse 2]
You talk in almosts
Every promise half-awake
Build little bridges
Then you burn them in a day
You breathe me in
Like danger you can't name
Kiss me like confession
Then you vanish in the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep my voice to a whisper
So I don't beg you to be true
You keep your pulse under armor
Like I'm the arrow aimed at you
[Chorus]
Unchain my heart
If you're gonna walk away
Don't drag me through your dark
Then turn and call it grace
If you don't love these restless parts
Set them free
Tear me apart
Love me and stay
Or unchain my heart
[Bridge]
Pull me closer
Hold me tighter
Till I almost taste the fall (oh)
You say
"I can't
I can't
I can't"
But your hands won't let me go
I would bleed out every secret
Just to quiet down this ache
But you only come to worship
Every piece of me you break
[Chorus]
Unchain my heart
If I'm just your favorite sin
Don't carve your name in my faith
Then never let me in
If you don't want these restless parts
Cut the rope
Kill the spark
Leave me in the dark
Or unchain my heart
[Outro]
Unchain my heart
Unchain my heart (oh)
If you won't stay
Let it break
Unchain my heart
