Patty Griffin - Buck Naked Heart lyrics

It must seem like a million miles away But that don't mean it is I sat and I thought, and I thought, of the things I could say And I just came up with this 'Cause honesty is hard to handle Truth is harder than hell Is it love or flies to a candle As years go by it's hard to tell As years go by it's hard to tell You're actin' like it's nothing, baby But I don't think I can play that part When you have looked straight in the eyes Of my buck naked heart We were sometimes light so bright it hurt your eyes And everything, to the touch, feels burned and raw But folding back into the arms of a lie Can never change, no never change, those things we saw I can hardly stand to see you You're so careful what you say Do you think you're the only one Who ever gave something away You're actin' like it's nothing, baby But I don't think I can play that part When you have looked straight in the eyes Of my buck naked heart 'Cause honesty is hard to handle Truth is harder than hell Is it love or flies to a candle As years go by it's hard to tell As years go by it's hard to tell Years go by, hard to tell, hard to tell You're actin' like it's nothing, baby But I don't think I can play that part When you have looked straight in the eyes Of my buck naked heart
