I hate to see you cry Laying there in that position There's things you need to hear So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws you heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No, it won't all go the way, it should But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new Bad news never had good timing Then the circle of your friends Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws you heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around No, it won't all go the way, it should But I know the heart of life is good (Play verse and chorus with no lyrics) Pain throws you heart to the ground Love turns the whole thing around Fear is a friend who's misunderstood But I know the heart of life is good I know it’s good
