Hailey
James Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The weight on your shoulders is far too heavy now
The tears that you're holding drag you down
Nobody knows 'cause you won't let it out
Won't you let me show you how?

Hailey
I can heal your breaking heart
I can ease your pain, throw it all away
If you let me love you
Hailey
I can mend your broken parts
Be your saving grace any time or place
If you let me love you

You're fighting the tide but you should let it flow
If you never try, you'll never know
Take my hand and I won't let you go
I'll never leave you on your own

Hailey
I can heal your breaking heart
I can ease your pain, throw it all away
If you let me love you
Hailey
I can mend your broken parts
Be your saving grace any time or place
If you let me love you

Won't quit trying
'Til you realize that
There's a light at the end of the way
Oh, I won't quit trying
No, I won't stop fighting
Let me take away all your pain

Hailey
I can heal your breaking heart

Hailey
I can heal your breaking heart
I can ease your pain, throw it all away
If you let me love you
Hailey
I can mend your broken parts




Be your saving grace any time or place
If you let me love you
