[Verse 1:]
This is not a sad song, it's about the ones you love
One in every small crowd too afraid to open up, and talk
Feeling like a lost child, crying for mother's love
No one really knows why, happens to the best of us.

[Chorus:]
Tell me it's a long way down
Tell me 'cause I'm with you now
And you're not broken
So keep your heart open now
Tell me that you lost yourself
Wishing you were someone else
And you're not broken
So keep your heart open now.

[Verse 2:]
People on the outside, they don't understand what's up
(People on the outside, they don't understand what's up)
But can they understand when you don't even know enough? Enough
Feeling like a lost child, crying for mother's love
Always on the outside, too afraid to open up, and talk.

[Chorus:]
Tell me it's a long way down
Tell me 'cause I'm with you now
And you're not broken
To keep your heart open now
Tell me that you lost yourself
Wishing you're someone else
But you're not broken
So keep your heart open now.

[Outro:]
Ooh, ooh
Keep your heart open and
Ooh, ooh
Keep your heart open and
Tell me it's a long way down
Tell me 'cause I'm with you now
And you are not broken
So keep your heart open
Tell me that you lost yourself
Wishing you were someone else
Man, you're not broken
So keep your heart open.
