When you open your heart
It closes your eyes
It shuts out the light
To find what a smile is trying to hide
When you open your arms
To hold her body tight
Do not be alarmed
If she's only with you for tonight
You should have known by now...
That when you give your heart you feel it break
And you take the parts and put them back into place
But give it time and soon the beat will start
Until the next time you open up your heart
When you offer your love
With nothing in return
It'll never be enough
To keep the wind from turning and turning
