You said everything that you had to say

you've felt everything that you had to feel

you know when a thing is or is not real

like a rebel in the crossfire of a patriots tears



You've been looking in the eyes of treachery and death

your pulse growing weak like your last living breath

you know about losing and placing your bets

but the dance on the grave of your name's not over yet



Ah you reckon with your chances take them up with god

god takes his aim and throws up his arms

he lays you on the cross of your own immortal soul

and screams fire in your ears, you must never let go



Oh my heart, oh, oh my heart

No matter how hard you're hit

No matter how hard you're hit

You never let go

you never let go

Never let go

never let go



You thought you should belong to eternal bliss

singing with the angels and dancing with spirits

lighting up the darkness with the stains on your soul

burning for the good of things you never have known



Now you've taken every punch from the center ring

counting down to zero with blood on your fingers

falling from the crowds without medals of honour

away from the violent side of love and its brother



Now you're back to chasing shadows in the alleyways

just when everyone thought you'd disappeared

you're back to counting blessings with the few who would know

that no matter how hard you're hit, you would never let go



Oh my heart, oh, oh my heart

No matter how hard you're hit

No matter how hard you're hit

You never let go

you never let go

Never let go

never let go
