Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
Truth is harder than a lie
The dark seems safer than the light
And everyone has a heart that loves to hide
[Verse 2]
I'm a mess and so are you
We've built walls nobody can get through
Yeah, it may be hard but the best thing we could ever do
Ever do
[Chorus]
Bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine
'Cause love can heal what hurt divides
And mercy's waiting on the other side
[PostChorus]
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
[Verse 3]
Don't pretend to be something that you're not
Living life, afraid of getting caught
There is freedom found when we lay our secrets down at the cross
At the cross
[Chorus]
So bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine
'Cause love can heal what hurt divides
And mercy's waiting on the other side
[PostChorus]
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
[Bridge]
It would change our lives
It would set us free
It's what we need to be
[Instrumental]
So bring your brokenness, and I'll bring mine
'Cause love can heal what hurt divides
And mercy's waiting on the other side
Mhm
[PostChorus]
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
If we're honest (Ooh-ooh)
