Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This precious heart

Broken apart

Just leave it there and let it go

'Cause all I know's there's nothing better than

There's nothing better than

There's nothing better than

[Verse 2]

How it keeps beating

It keeps repeating

A blessing in disguise

Dry my eyes and realize there's something better than

There's something better than

There's something better than

[Verse 3]

Try to find all the beauty you have inside

'Cuz the truth in love will survive

Tell me how can it end

When it hasn't a chance to begin

[Verse 4]

This precious heart

Broken apart

Just leave it there and let it go

'Cuz all I know's there's nothing better than

There's nothing better than

There's nothing better than

[Verse 5]

How it keeps beating

It keeps repeating

A blessing in disguise

Dry my eyes and realize there's something better than

There's something better than

There's something better than

[Verse 6]

'Cause we're blind

By the darkness of in between

Moving through you into a dream

There's a sky full of stars

So just be who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

[Verse 7]

Mmm mmm mmm

La-la la-la mmm

Le-le-la-bum mmm mmm

Mmm mmm mmm mmm

Na na na na
