Night Swims - Walk This Tender Heart Lyrics

When people come around
You say the right things
When the cops are called
We'll hide my disease
It's hard to know
I oft don't understand
What it takes
To be married to a broken man

Walk this tender heart for miles
Been beaten down like your smile
The shame that you wear in the night
Will fade with the passing of every sunrise

Couldn't let me go
But Christ I wish you had
Our love will never float
Even when the river's been dammed
We healed our wounds
And for a moment we survived
And broke on through
Before we were caught in what we left behind

Walk this tender heart for miles
Been beaten down like your smile
The shame that you wear in the night
Will fade with the passing of every sunrise

We were let down
We were let down
We were let down
We were let down
Let down
Oh you let down
Let down
Oh you let down
