One Heart Whole

there's a warm breeze 
  and many ways to survive
     take your worries 
   and hang them out to dry 
  hear me if I'm not mistaken 
          forgive me all I know 
 many loves must be forsaken 
         to make just one heart whole 

      to make just one heart whole 

      your wily ways
    all these secrets and lies
should have no place
     in your heart or mine
  any thorn can be misleading 
     and discolour the rose
 left undone, distraught n bleeding
   leave me anything but broke 

   to make just one heart whole

   drop all defense n' see the sense 
      relinquish resistance, be still

    hear me if I'm not mistaken 
          forgive me all I know 
   many loves must be forsaken 
       to make just one heart whole 

   leave me anything but broke 
      to make just one heart whole 

 there's a warm breeze and many ways to 
                          survive
