[Verse 1]
I've been stranded on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
Heard cries and the suffering
Walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna find you through all the noise
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Shine your light as I reach for you
[Chorus]
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa, oh oh oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I've been told at least a thousand times
"It's not worth the struggle, the hurt, or the trouble"
I keep running up to these front lines
No, I won't surrender
I'll wait here forever
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Standing here with my flag held high
Can't you see that it's worth the fight?
[Chorus]
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa, oh oh oh yeah
[Bridge]
I've marched across this battlefield
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
I'm holding on, I stand my ground
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
[Chorus]
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
[Outro]
My heart beats for love, for love
I've been stranded on a lonely street
Got lost in the shadows
Fell hard in the battle
Heard cries and the suffering
Walked through the darkness
Left broken and heartless
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm calling out, can you hear my voice?
I'm gonna find you through all the noise
You know there's nothing that I wouldn't do
Shine your light as I reach for you
[Chorus]
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa, oh oh oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I've been told at least a thousand times
"It's not worth the struggle, the hurt, or the trouble"
I keep running up to these front lines
No, I won't surrender
I'll wait here forever
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Standing here with my flag held high
Can't you see that it's worth the fight?
[Chorus]
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
Whoa, oh oh oh yeah
[Bridge]
I've marched across this battlefield
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
I'm holding on, I stand my ground
I'm screaming out, can you hear me now?
[Chorus]
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
It's the sound that I hear, tells me not to give up
It breathes in my chest and it runs through my blood
My heart beats for love
My heart beats for love
[Outro]
My heart beats for love, for love
