Broken Open-Robin Jackson

Oh my darling, this is a love song I wish I’d written a long long time ago You gave me sunshine, but I was a shadow I didn’t realize my eyes were so damned closed I didn’t know my chest was full of stones Once a garden how the weeds have grown You were the medicine that pulled me from the past Now I’m broken open at last All of the words I never gave you I was too afraid to, to let you all in I didn’t want to hurt you or desert you But I was haunted by a darkness that made your light grow dim I didn’t know my chest was full of stones Once a garden how the weeds have grown You were the medicine that pulled me from the past Now I’m broken open at last And not a day goes by when I wish I could go back To the times I made you cry And how my heart has shown That I must atone for the seeds which I have sown Please forgive me, forgive me May this song catch the tears Of all the pain that you have had to bear Your heart is my heart your hurt is my hurt And may we both be free from the ghost which led us here I didn’t know my chest was full of stones Once a garden how the weeds have grown You were the medicine that pulled me from the past Now I’m broken open I’m broken open I’m broken open at last
