[Intro]
When it comes to relationships, um
I truly feel like wholeness can come from brokenness
We can find love in the most strange places
Um, that we didn't expect
And I think that's the beauty in love
I think that's the beauty in connecting with other people
Through our hurt, through our growth
And through the struggle
[Verse 1]
Wasn't sure I'd be alright
Wasn't sure I'd be okay again
Didn't know how to take flight
Wings broken couldn't seem to bend
[Pre-Chorus]
Somehow you came in like the wind
And picked me up for good
And now I know what I have missed
I'm thinking that you should
[Chorus]
Pick up the pieces
Help me learn to stand
Lift me from the ground and use your hands
To hold me by the heart
Tell me I'll be whole again
Hold me by the heart
Tell me it will never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)
Help me fly again
[Verse 2]
Always read all the fairytales
Always knew that it would come
Through the pain I convinced myself
"It's only magical for some"
[Pre-Chorus]
Somehow you came and like a prince
And picked me up for good
And now I know what I have missed
I'm thinking that you should
[Chorus]
Just pick up the pieces
Help me learn to stand
Lift me from the ground and use your hands
To hold me by the heart
Tell me I'll be whole again
And hold me by the heart
Tell me it will never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)
Help me fly again
[Outro]
(Pick up the pieces)
(Help me learn to stand)
Help me learn to stand
(Lift me from the ground and)
(use your hands) Use your hands
(Pick up the pieces) Hey
(Help me learn to stand)
Help me learn to stand
(Lift me from the ground and)
(use your hands) Use your hands
Use your hands
(Hold me by the heart)
(Hold me by the heart) Hold me by the heart
Tell me it would never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So hold me by the heart
Help me fly again
When it comes to relationships, um
I truly feel like wholeness can come from brokenness
We can find love in the most strange places
Um, that we didn't expect
And I think that's the beauty in love
I think that's the beauty in connecting with other people
Through our hurt, through our growth
And through the struggle
[Verse 1]
Wasn't sure I'd be alright
Wasn't sure I'd be okay again
Didn't know how to take flight
Wings broken couldn't seem to bend
[Pre-Chorus]
Somehow you came in like the wind
And picked me up for good
And now I know what I have missed
I'm thinking that you should
[Chorus]
Pick up the pieces
Help me learn to stand
Lift me from the ground and use your hands
To hold me by the heart
Tell me I'll be whole again
Hold me by the heart
Tell me it will never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)
Help me fly again
