Best Hearts Lyrics by Andy Grammer

Oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh

I want somebody who has been through hell
To tell me that I'm gonna be alright
Advice, it never really sits that well
Unless it's coming from someone who's lost the fight

I wanna hear from the sinners, the quitters, the late-night-admitters
That they've done more wrong than done right
The honest assessment, how they learned their lessons
The hard way and still found the light

The best hearts are broken
The best hearts are broken
So Lord, I pray
That I can love
Like the ones who've been destroyed and stood back up
Somehow stay open
'Cause the best hearts are broken

I lost my mother, age of 25
The color left my face and left my life
It took me years of feeling half alive
Before my eyes could see past all the black and white

And you know that, my friends, we are battered, we're broken, we're shattered
We're bruised, but we're still standing up
The beauty, the magic, the terror, the tragic
It's the cost of admission for love

The best hearts are broken
The best hearts are broken
So Lord, I pray
That I can love
Like the ones who've been destroyed and stood back up
Somehow stay open
'Cause the best hearts are broken

So give me the courage, let me feel it all
And stand in the fire and not build the walls
When this my heart of mine starts to find reasons that it should be closing
And remember that pain is the place the light enters
I came to this earth to grow bigger, love better
The path of a lover is hard, it's the one that I've chosen

The best hearts are broken (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Oh
The best hearts are broken (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
The best hearts are broken (Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh)
Somehow stay open
The best hearts are broken
The best hearts are broken
