Broken Heart

We can build a wall to protect ourselves from getting hurt
We can lock the door, let no strangers in
We can keep ourselves prepared when we assume the worst
So we never have to be surprised again
We can run from the pain
Or pretend that it's not real

But a broken heart
A broken heart
A broken heart is better than one that doesn't feel

There's a million reasons why we are afraid to love
It takes some trust to lay your armor down
And a certain kind of bravery to open up
TO the sorrow and the joy that might be found
We can run from the pain
But it hurts where it heals

And a broken heart
A broken heart
A broken heart is better than one that doesn't feel

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

There are other ways that Jesus could have saved the world
Ones that wouldn't end up with him dead
Could have done it with an order from the throne of God
But he did it with a broken heart instead
So I'll take a broken heart
I'll take a broken heart
I'll take a broken heart
I'll take a broken heart

Cause a broken heart is better than one that doesn't feel
