Song of the day- Hate to see your heart break
I just heard this song for the first time about 5 minutes ago and well, had to share it. I instantly adored those ol' harmonies that made Joy Williams of the Civil Wars famous mixing with the crazy vocalist in her own right Haley WIlliams of Paramore. Having both come from former Christian contemporary music scenes, today's artists have been close friends for decades which really shines bright in this ode to friendship. Beside just being a great throwback groovy tune, I had realized that lately just about every woman in my life has been going through crazy life changing events, whether giving life, making life, fighting for life, or fighting hand in hand for someone close, or just fighting. Basically it's been tough. And today's song celebrates those times in your life that may be the roughest and is probably when we need each other most. So for all of those fighters and givers in my life and yours, this one's for you.
There is not a single word in the whole world
That could describe the hurt
The dullest knife just sawing back and forth
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was
How were you to know?
Oh, how were you to know?
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
Love happens all the time
To people who aren't kind
And heroes who are blind
Expecting perfect scripted movie scenes
Who wants an awkward silent mystery?
How were you to know?
Well, how were you to know-oh-oh?
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
For all the air that's in your lungs
For all the joy that is to come
For all the things that you're alive to feel
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal
Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)
Oh, how were you to know?
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
And I, I hate to see your heart break
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
But I've been there before
