You said everything that you had to say
you've felt everything that you had to feel
you know when a thing is or is not real
like a rebel in the crossfire of a patriots tears

You've been looking in the eyes of treachery and death
your pulse growing weak like your last living breath
you know about losing and placing your bets
but the dance on the grave of your name's not over yet

Ah you reckon with your chances take them up with god
god takes his aim and throws up his arms
he lays you on the cross of your own immortal soul
and screams fire in your ears, you must never let go

Oh my heart, oh, oh my heart
No matter how hard you're hit
No matter how hard you're hit
You never let go
you never let go
Never let go
never let go

You thought you should belong to eternal bliss
singing with the angels and dancing with spirits
lighting up the darkness with the stains on your soul
burning for the good of things you never have known

Now you've taken every punch from the center ring
counting down to zero with blood on your fingers
falling from the crowds without medals of honour
away from the violent side of love and its brother

Now you're back to chasing shadows in the alleyways
just when everyone thought you'd disappeared
you're back to counting blessings with the few who would know
that no matter how hard you're hit, you would never let go

Oh my heart, oh, oh my heart
No matter how hard you're hit
No matter how hard you're hit
You never let go
you never let go
Never let go
never let
