​bless ur heart

[Verse 1]
When I give these books away will my ink betray me?
Will my stories resist wings and grow feet and convince men that I'm boasting?
Or will my psalms seek the company of lonely breaths?
Will they inspire subtle lovers to kiss with mouths they don't have yet?
Boy, whoever reads about how much I adore you
I hope my words bring them something new, something new

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, child, bless your heart, keep a tender heart
Heart, heart

[Verse 2]
With you I can empty myself of all my rivers and become a remarkable sky
How could I keep these love documents to myself?
How could I restrict what's given me life?
Today I'll find a kind and burrowing creature that can carry these pages into the ground
He'll recite the details of your love with his family
And what was once a whisper will become a deep rumbling sound

[Chorus 2]
Ooh, child bless your heart, keep a tender heart
I'll keep a tender heart
Heart, heart
Heart, heart
Oh, I'll keep my tender heart

[Outro]
Boy, thank you for showing me how to be gentle (Heart, heart)
I have courage to share your love boldly
(Heart, heart)
