A Heart That Won't Open

Written by Joe Deegan

Produced by Joshua Moore

Joe Deegan - vocals

Joshua Moore - piano

There’s nothing I hate more than being alone

But there’s nothing that makes me more comfortable

I’ve grown immune to what others call pain

I’ve learned how to hide and not feel anything

If you want me to let down my guard

You’re gonna have to break this heart

Love is the end of a double-edged knife

It can sharpen your soul or take away your life

To love is to stand on the edge of a cliff

Is the pain of the fall ever worth the risk?

(Chorus)

Love is not free, no, it costs more than life

I can’t afford to pay such a steep price

To love is to open your heart up to pain

A heart that won’t open is a heart that won’t break

(Chorus)
