Open
My path was straight and narrow
Your heart was raw and red
You stood there bleeding in the shadows
And I had to turn my head
I fought you tooth and nail
I loved you with clenched fists
But now that the war of our love is over
I can finally tell you this
Thank you for breaking me open
Thank you for breaking me open
My heart's song was safely unspoken
But you came, and you broke me wide open
Our pain was full of love
And our love was full of pain
And all I knew when we were through
Was that I'd never feel the same
For my wise and worthy walls
Of reasons and rules
Came tumbling down around me
The day that I met you
The sky was full of grey
The grey was full of cold
But the cottonwood stood wealthy
With its countless coins of gold
They lay littered on the ground
Like lessons learned in love
There were more of them
Than I could ever hope to hold
Aberto
Meu caminho era reto e estreito
Seu coração era cru e vermelho
Você estava lá sangrando nas sombras
E eu tive que desviar o olhar
Eu lutei com unhas e dentes
Eu te amei com punhos cerrados
Mas agora que a guerra do nosso amor acabou
Eu finalmente posso te dizer isso
Obrigado por me abrir
Obrigado por me abrir
A canção do meu coração estava guardada
Mas você veio e me quebrou por inteiro
Nossa dor estava cheia de amor
E nosso amor estava cheio de dor
E tudo que eu sabia quando tudo acabou
Era que eu nunca sentiria o mesmo
Pois minhas paredes sábias e dignas
De razões e regras
Desabaram ao meu redor
No dia em que te conheci
O céu estava cheio de cinza
O cinza estava cheio de frio
Mas o algodoeiro estava rico
Com suas incontáveis moedas de ouro
Elas estavam espalhadas pelo chão
Como lições aprendidas no amor
Havia mais delas
Do que eu poderia algum dia segurar
