Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

Wounded Heart

Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself

Though I wanted to be brave it never helped

'Cause your trouble's like a flood ragin' through your veins

No amount of love's enough to end the pain

Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong

But the anger that you feel goes on and on

And it's not enough to know that I love you still

So I'll take my heart and go for I've had my fill

If you listen you can hear the angel's wings

Up above our heads so near they are hovering

Waiting to reach out for love when it falls apart

When it cannot rise above a wounded heart

When it cannot rise above a wounded heart
