Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I thought there was something wrong with me
I did my best
Tried everything that my counselor said
I put in the work
Talked to myself
Checked all the boxes
All of the steps
Still didn't help, still didn't help
And after head fakes
And bad breaks
And mistakes
And heartaches
When you came, it changed
And all the deep hurts
And deep wounds
In time, they led me to you
Just you
This is my heart on the mend
My spirit becoming whole again
This is where dreams begin
A fire burning deep within
I'm spiraling down
To a love I found
Though I'm far from the end
There's light up ahead
I believe, I believe
My heart is on the mend
You know why I do all the things that I do
You know why I say all the things that I say
And you know all the pain that I've gone through
And you still tell me I'm ok
And after head fakes
And bad breaks
And mistakes
And heartaches
When you came, it changed
And all the deep hurts
And deep wounds
In time, they led me to you
Just you
This is my heart on the mend
My spirit becoming whole again
This is where dreams begin
A fire burning deep within
I'm spiraling down
To a love I found
Though I'm far from the end
There's light up ahead
I believe, I believe
My heart is on the mend
I'm still holding onto hope
Though this hurt still has a hold
Sometimes miracles are slow
This is my heart on the mend
My spirit becoming whole again
This is my heart on the mend
My spirit becoming whole again
This is where dreams begin
A fire burning deep within
I'm spiraling down
To a love I found
Though I'm far from the end
There's light up ahead
I believe, I believe
My heart is on the mend
My heart is on the mend
