Open Your Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I kept that grudge in my chest Like a stone in my coat Every word you threw Still stuck in my throat I replayed that night Like a bruise I could hold But the weight got heavy Made my hands go cold I was wrong too Yeah, I played my part Put a lock on the door Where I kept my heart Now I see your tears Ain't the same as a lie Sometimes both of us broke Just trying to survive [Pre-Chorus] If I let it go Will I lose my name? If I let you in Do I feel that pain? But I miss the peace That I used to know So I breathe it out And I let it go [Chorus] Open your hand Open your hand I don't want revenge I want to understand Open your hand Open your hand We can start again If you open your hand [Verse 2] I watched my pride Try to talk me tough Say keep score, stay hard Don't give too much But I seen my mama Fold her hands and pray She said, "Baby, grace Don't go away" So I'm here now With my voice unarmed No more iron fists No more hidden scars I can say your name Without spitting blame That don't make it fair It just breaks the chain [Pre-Chorus] If I let it go Will I lose my name? If I let you in Do I feel that pain? But I miss the peace That I used to know So I breathe it out And I let it go [Chorus] Open your hand Open your hand I don't want revenge I want to understand Open your hand Open your hand We can start again If you open your hand [Bridge] I ain't forgetting I just won't keep score I can still feel it But it owns me no more If love is a door Then I'm knocking slow We don't heal by winning We heal by letting go [Chorus] Open your hand Open your hand I don't want revenge I want to understand Open your hand Open your hand We can start again If you open your hand
