were you born in water,   a fish so cold?   were you born in autumn,   as the river froze?   cause you shut up   and you're shut in   and i know that   you've got your reasons   but even still, listen:   honey, let your red heart show      won't you? won't you? can't you?      were you born a closed book,   full of secret lines? (and bound so tight)   or did you learn to lock it,   as not to break your spine? (oh! you were bound so tight)   cause you shut up   and you're all shut inside   and i wanted to get you smiling   and maybe once in awhile you could try   and maybe let your red heart show      come on      won't you let your red heart show?   won't you let your red heart show?   don't you let your red heart go cold   don't you let your red heart go cold   we were given so much and we let it go   we were given so much and we're getting old   we were promised so much but we let it go   we were promised so much and it's going i know   but you look so good when you're laughing you know   yeah you know you look so good when you let it show   honey you look so good when you're laughing      (oh!)
