[Verse 1]
They say don't open old wounds
But you're still brand new
And all the flames you said you ran through
You got a little more to prove
One day, I'll give you my heart
When it's not in two
They say don't open old wounds
But I'm going to
[Chorus]
I think I could love you 'til the day that you die
If you let me love you when the timing is right
And if they said I had to, I swear I'd wait my whole life
I think I could love you 'til the day that you die
[Verse 2]
They say don't open old wounds
But this is still brand new
And I've got nothing left to lose besides you

They say don't open old wounds
But I want to
[Chorus]
I think I could love you 'til the day that you die
If you let me love you when the timing is right
And if they said I had to, I swear I'd wait my whole life
I think I could love you 'til the day that you die
[Bridge]
Oh, I think I could love you
Think I could love you
Think I could love you
Oh, I think I could love you
Think I could love you
Think I could love you
Oh, I
[Verse 3]
They say don't open old wounds
But this is still brand new
And I've got nothing left to lose besides you
I've already lost you once, what more could you do?
[Outro]
Oh, I think I could love you
Think I could love you
Think I could love you
Oh, I think I could love you
Think I could love you
Think I could love you

“Old Wounds” is actually a love song, written with that full intention from the start. About three years ago, I had a very intense and meaningful relationship with somebody, but things went kind of haywire and our lives went in different directions, and it ended very abruptly. It was just a really w...
I think this is the most directly I’ve ever written about love. It feels like a love song—it’s about that all-or-nothing mentality and that willingness to get hurt again from somebody the second time around. I wrote it about three or four years ago. I had this really short-term but really special co...
