No Lines Unbent (Acoustic Version)

I thought that love would heal my wounds
Make my skin mend where it once bruised
I thought that love would mostly soothe
but all it did was cut me open and cut me loose
I thought that love would not divide
Turn white lies black and hide
I thought that love would tame the wild
Or let the wild roam free but all it did was bind

And oh, how I thought love would hold me
And oh, how I thought it would
And oh, how I thought love would embolden me
And oh, how I thought it would

I thought that love would heed my heart
Gather all the lost parts and blunt my shards
I thought that love would make my edges soft
But all it did was shiver my rivers into frost
I thought that love would oust my doubt
take me out of this endless roundabout
I thought that love would ease my thoughts
But all it did was stir them up in floods

And oh, how I thought love would hold me
And oh, how I thought it would
And oh, how I thought love would embolden me
And oh, how I thought it would

And all it did was bend me
The way love leaves no lines unbent
And even though it slayed me
The way fallen branches quiver in snow
The injured bark still gives its all
Below the still earth, it's held whole
I am held whole
I am held whole
