I held onto the hurt
Wrestled to the ground
I fought it like heaven and hell
And I lost every round
There wasn't anybody I would trust
't was so long since I'd felt love
I'd forgotten what it was
Baby, 'til you
Got ahold of my angry heart
I saw the truth
When you led my way out of the dark
I was draggin' around these chains
Like some ghost in the hall
Swearin' out the pain
And empty from it all
Until you got ahold of my angry heart
Living in the past
Locked up with my rage
Well I built that prison myself
And it's such a lonely cage
I started believing I would never heal
But your love changed my life when I thought my fate was sealed

Baby, 'til you
Got ahold of my angry heart
I saw the truth
When you led my way out of the dark
I was draggin' around these chains
Like some ghost in the hall
Swearin' out the pain
And empty from it all
Until you got ahold of my angry heart
I thought I would disappear without a trace
Until your love washed each teardrop from my face
Baby, 'til you
Got ahold of my angry heart
I saw the truth
When you led my way out of the dark
I was draggin' around these chains
Like some ghost in the hall
Swearin' out the pain
And empty from it all
Until you got ahold of my angry heart
Baby, you've got ahold of my heart
