lyrics

i made a home in my heart for us
cleared off the shelves gathering dust
i made a place to take you in
though i know you don't mind
the rain or the wind
i filled in the cracks and fixed up the wounds
i made a warm little spot for you

i made a place for your troubles and pain
i had everything to lose, everything to gain
for you, i even made a bed
gave you somewhere to rest your weary head
i made some space, i made sure you could fit
i dug a hole where the blood runs thick

i dug a hole in my heart for us
they were lying when they said
"all you need is love"
i dug a hole in my heart for us
but it wasn't enough
i dug a hole in my heart for us
oh, it was a labor, a labor of love

i would give you everything you could need
if you'd only stay with me
i would give you everything i could give
a heart, a home, a place to live
but my heart's such a mess
and i can't really blame you,
hold, control, embrace, displace, or contain you

i made a home in my heart for us
i must be crazy, it was far too dangerous
i dug a hole in my heart for you
you just kept digging
you pushed right on through
i dug a hole in my heart for us
oh, it was a labor, a labor of love
