Open Up
Hudson Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

won't you open your heart out to me

one more day, one more monent
two of us, too afraid
we have lose communication
some where along the way

I'm doing fine, above the surface
underneath, not so well
truth gets lose, in conversation
some where along the way

won't you open your heart out to me
we're still blood underneath that are

I know its hard, to talk about it
the simple words, are hard to find
there will always be, confrontation
some where along the way

so won't you open your heart out to me
we're still blood underneath that are
so won't you open your heart out to me
we're still blood underneath that are

no you don't have to do it alone
don't carry it all on your own
no you don't have to do it alone

won't you open your heart out to me
won't you open your heart out to me
won't you open your heart out to me
we're still blood underneath that are
won't you open your heart out to me
we're still blood underneath that are




that are
that are
