Hearts At War

You came in like a summer storm

Tore the shutters off my doubt

Every rule I lived by

Yeah

You washed it out

Now I’m standing in the doorway

Between the past and what might be

My hands are begging

"baby

Stay"

My soul says

"set it free"

My heart’s in a war between love and faith

One says “hold on

” one says “walk away”

Love’s got its hands locked around my soul

Faith keeps on whispering “let it go”

Caught in the crossfire

Torn in the smoke

Between holding on

And letting go

You’re asleep in my old T-shirt

Breathing quiet in the dark

All the futures I could die for

Are written on your arms

But there’s a whisper in the silence

Saying

“trust what you can’t see”

If I really believe in grace

I can’t keep you for me

My heart’s in a war between love and faith

One says “hold on

” one says “walk away”

Love’s got its hands locked around my soul

Faith keeps on whispering “let it go”

Caught in the crossfire

Torn in the smoke

Between holding on

And letting go

Do I fight for us

Or fall into the light

Is the braver thing to stay here

Or to walk out of your life

If I let you fly

Will I break or finally grow

(oh, I don’t know, I don’t know)

My heart’s in a war between love and faith

One says “hold on

” one says “walk away”

Love’s got its hands locked around my soul

Faith keeps on whispering “let it go”

Caught in the crossfire

Torn in the smoke

Between holding on

And letting go
