The Heart of Life Lyrics
John Mayer
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
so turn off your tears
and listen.
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
but I know the heart of life is good.
You know it's nothing new
bad news never had good timing
then the circle of your friends
will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No it won't all go the way it should
but I know the heart of life is good.
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
but I know the heart of life is good.
I know it's good.
