An Honest Heart
Sent By Ravens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come and see
The religion I have lost in recovery
In recovery
And what you need from me isn't playing a guitar
Or sympathy
It's my honest heart
In pursuit of yours
How long should I wait for words to come
I may have done us in for good
Which vow will I break before I'm done
God, I may have done us in for good

I may have done us in for good
Honestly, I have made a few mistakes
But I'm coming clean
I'm coming clean
And with recovery
I replace a broken vow and a growing seed with my honest heart

How long should I wait for words to come
I may have done us in for good
Which vow will I break before I'm done
God, I may have done us in for good
I may have done us in for good

Just pay attention to every thought
Pay attention to every thought
We pray for revival
I let go, I let go
All I want is your forgiveness
Say you'll stay

How long should I wait for words to come
I may have done us in for good
Which vow will I break before I'm done




God, I may have done us in for good
I may have done us in for good
