I know what it is
To grow up lonely
And I know how it feels
To need a friend
I shut down, gave up, gave in
Closed the door
I've been there before
When my heart was broken
I thought my life was useless, hopeless
In my desperation
I had a revelation
What I thought was the ending
Was just the beginning
When my heart was broken
It was broken open
Wide open
Something in your voice
Tells me you're hurting
And something in your smile
Seems out of place
Oh but don't run, don't lie, don't hide from the pain
Let it teach you how to say
When my heart was broken
I thought my life was useless, hopeless
In my desperation
I had a revelation
What I thought was the ending
Was just the beginning
When my heart was broken
It was broken open
Wide open
In Sunday school it confused me
Why that man was on the cross
How someone so mistreated
Could be the Savior of us all
When His heart was broken
And His life seemed so useless, hopeless
In His desperation
Was the grand revelation
What they thought was the ending
Was just the beginning
Yeah when His heart was broken
Yeah when His heart was broken
It was broken open
It was broken open
When our hearts are broken
Let them be broken open
