From The Heart
Christopher Scullion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you feel it's getting better
Open up and let me in
The fire's burning bright
But the water's always gonna win

When you think that it's all over
I'll be right here next to you
In a thought that's growing stronger
That goes on and on and on until it's true

Strong but light as a feather
Built but falling apart
Broke down writing a letter to burn
On a page torn from the heart

Sitting tired in the corner
Not a sound left to be made
Growing from within
A feeling that's been hiding in the shade

Feeling time
Taking hold
Taking to the unknown
Will we return better or worse this time round?

Strong but light as a feather
Built but falling apart
Broke down writing a letter to burn
On a page torn from the heart

Strong but light as a feather
Built but falling apart
Broke down writing a letter to burn




On a page torn from the heart
It's gonna take us back to the star
