My Paper Heart (Deluxe Edition)

Francesca Battistelli My Paper Heart (Deluxe Edition) Lyrics
1.Free To Be Me

At twenty years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A war is already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can't always see, 'cause...

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me

When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life will turn out right
And I'll make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt, 'cause...

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
And you're free to be you

Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and you tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it's easy to believe, even though...

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see

I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
And you're free to be you


2.I'm Letting Go

My heart beats standing on the edge
But my feet have finally left the ledge
Like an acrobat
There's no turning back

I'm letting go
Of the life I've planned for me
And my dreams
I'm losing control
Of my destiny
It feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe
So I'm letting go

This is a giant leap of faith
Trusting and trying to embrace
The fear of the unknown
Beyond my comfort zone

I'm letting go
Of the life I've planned for me
And my dreams
I'm losing control
Of my destiny
It feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe
So I'm letting go
Giving into your gravity
Knowing you are holding me
I'm not afraid

I'm letting go of the life I've planned for me
And my dreams
I'm losing control
Of my destiny
It feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe
It feels like I'm falling and this is the life for me
And I'm letting go!
Oh, yeah
It feels like I'm falling and that's what it's like to believe
It feels like I'm falling and this is the life for me


3.Unpredictable

Got my thoughts, I got my words
Got this info of answers
Got you wrapped up
Got you under control

See my future like a pass behind me
I think I know where it leadeth
Don't need no questions
Don't need no rock in the boat

But I just forget all the mystery
I just forget who You are

When I know that I know what You have down the road
When I'm sure that I've figured You out
Help me say that I'm small, that I can't know it all
'Cause You're so unpredictable
'Cause You're so unpredictable

You said the foolish would shame the wise
To put my faith in what's beyond my eyes
And to believe You I have to come as a child
So help me to rest in the mystery of what I can understand

When I know that I know what You have down the road
When I'm sure that I've figured You out
Help me say that I'm small, that I can't know it all
'Cause You're so unpredictable

Can't wrap my mind around You
Can't put You in a box
Can't keep You safely contained
You're gonna move the way
You wanna move today
Just let me follow along

When I know that I know what You have down the road
When I'm sure that I've figured You out
Help me say that I'm small, that I can't know it all

When I know that I know what You have down the road
When I'm sure that I've figured You out
Help me say that I'm small, that I can't know it all
'Cause You're so unpredictable
'Cause You're so unpredictable
You're unpredictable


4.My Paper Heart

Well, I've been treated like a valentine
That's been ripped apart and left behind
I'm a fragile girl
In a crazy careless world

My dreams were torn and scattered on the floor
But You've been picking up the pieces, Lord
'Cause Your love is real
The only hope to heal

My paper heart is Yours now
I have landed in Your hands
Come so far to find out
My life will never be the same
Since you wrote Your name
On my paper heart

I had been so terrified to trust
So many times I'd been reduced to dust
But You keep showing me
You're the safest place to be

My paper heart is Yours now
I have landed in Your hands
Come so far to find out
My life will never be the same
Since you wrote Your name
On my paper heart

Never knew that I could feel the way I feel
Never knew that there could be a love so real
Never knew that I could feel the way I feel right now

My paper heart is Yours now
I have landed in Your hands
Come so far to find out
My life will never be the same
Since you wrote Your name
On my paper heart


5.Beautiful,Beautiful

Don't know how it is you looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart,
Breaking through the dark,
Suddenly Your grace

Like sunlight burning at midnight,
Making my life something so beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so beautiful, beautiful

Now, there's a joy inside I can't contain,
But even perfect days can end in rain
I know its pouring down,
I see You through the clouds,
Shining on my face

Like sunlight burning at midnight,
Making my life something so beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so beautiful, beautiful

I have come undone
But I am just begun
Changing by Your grace

Like sunlight burning at midnight,
Making my life something so beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so beautiful, beautiful

Like sunlight burning at midnight,
Making my life something so beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so beautiful, beautiful


6.Blue Sky

When you're down and you're out
And you don't think you have a friend
When you're lost in the doubt
And you can't see what's around the bend

Just hold on
Don't turn around
Keep on walking
Don't lose heart
'Cause I am here, I am here
Wherever you are, wherever you are

When the rain is falling
And there's no silver lining
And you just can't seem to find the light
When you need a reason
To help, you keep believing
Let my love be your blue sky

Don't you know that I know
Life can be so hard it makes you wanna give up
But don't you know over the horizon
The sunny day you're looking for
Is waiting right here in my love

Just hold on
Don't turn around
Keep on walking
Don't lose heart
'Cause I am here, I am here
Wherever you are, wherever you are

When the rain is falling
And there's no silver lining
And you just can't seem to find the light
When you need a reason
To help, you keep believing
Let my love be your blue sky

Come on, come on
Don't you be afraid
Whatever comes tomorrow
My love is here to stay

Come on, come on
Don't you be afraid
Whatever comes tomorrow
My love is here to stay

Come on, come on
Don't you be afraid
Whatever comes tomorrow
My love is here to stay

Come on, come on
Don't you be afraid
Whatever comes tomorrow
My love is here to stay

When the rain is falling
And there's no silver lining
And you just can't seem to find the light
When you need a reason
To help, you keep believing
Let my love be your blue sky

Come on, come on
Don't you be afraid
Whatever comes tomorrow
My love is here to stay

Come on, come on
Don't you be afraid
Whatever comes tomorrow
My love is here to stay


7.Forever Love

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love

From the bottom of my heart I'll sing to You
From the depths of who I am I love You
With everything inside I'll run to You
'Cause all that I've become I owe to You

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love

From the bottom of my heart I'll sing to You
From the depths of who I am I love You
With everything inside I'll run to You
'Cause all that I've become I owe to You

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love

Nothing in this world could ever separate us
I will love You more than anyone on earth
Nothing I desire could ever satisfy me the way that You do

From the bottom of my heart I'll sing to You
From the depths of who I am I love You
With everything inside I'll run to You
'Cause all that I've become I owe to You

You are my forever love
You are my forever love
You are my forever love


8.Someday Soon

I wanna be the one who knows everything about you
I wanna be the one who's always on your mind
I wanna be the one to get all of your affection and attention
You're the one that I've been waiting for, for all this time

And I can't imagine anything, anything better than

Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand
Making our plans all come true
Someday under a sky so blue
I'll give you my heart
Our story will start
Someday soon

I wanna be the one who does everything with you
Watching stars, washing cars, taking walks, going to the store
I wanna be the one who gets to change her last name someday
To something that sounds something more like yours

And I can't imagine anything, anything better than

Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand
Making our plans all come true
Someday under a sky so blue
I'll give you my heart
Our story will start
Someday soon

Yeah, I'll be telling you I love you
On a picture perfect day
And those words inside my head
They sound like angels singing praise
It's what I was made to say

Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand
Making our plans

Someday falling in love with you
Holding your hand
Making our plans all come true
Someday under a sky so blue
I'll give you my heart
Our story will start
Someday soon


9.Behind The Scenes

You may think
I'm just fine
How could anything
Ever be out of line?

I take my time
To set the stage
To make sure everything
Is all in place

Even though I've got the lines rehearsed
A picture only paints a thousand words

Things aren't always what they seem
You're only seeing part of me
There's more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes
I'm incomplete and I'm undone
But I suppose like everyone
There's so much more that's going on
Behind the scenes

Sometimes I can't see
Anything
Through the dark
Surrounding me

And at times I'm unsure
About the ground
Beneath my feet
If it's safe and sound

When it's hard to find hope in the unseen
I have peace in knowing it will find me

Things aren't always what they seem
You're only seeing part of me
There's more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes
I'm incomplete and I'm undone
But I suppose like everyone
There's so much more that's going on
Behind the scenes

Things aren't always what they seem
You're only seeing part of me
There's more than you could ever know
Behind the scenes
I'm incomplete and I'm undone
But I suppose like everyone
There's so much more that's going on
Behind the scenes

You may think I'm just fine
How could anything ever be out of line?


10.It's Your Life

This is the moment
It's on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle, between wrong and right
But you know, after all...

It's your life
Whatcha gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day, the choices you make
Say what you are and who your heart beats for
It's an open door
It's your life

Are you always who you said you would be,
With a sinking feeling in your chest?
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me, When did you forget...

It's your life
Whatcha gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day, the choices you make
Say what you are and who your heart beats for
It's an open door

Live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
to let your life be the one that lights the way

It's your life
Whatcha gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day, the choices you make
Say what you are and who your heart beats for
It's an open door

It's your life
Whatcha gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day, the choices you make
Say what you are and who your heart beats for
Its' an open door
It's your life...


11.Time In Between

You were there when your Father said
Let there be light
You obeyed when He whispered
Son, You have to leave tonight
To spend nine months in a mothers womb
Three days in a borrowed tomb

But it's the time in between
That brings me to my knees
Knowing you came for me
And all that I can't be
I'm amazed, so amazed
And I thank You for the time in between

Don't take much for this crazy world
To rob me of my peace
And the enemy of my soul
Says You're holding out on me
So I stand here lifting empty hands
For you to fill me up again

But it's the time in between
That I fall down to my knees
Waiting on what You'll bring
And the things that I can't see
I know my song's incomplete
Still I'll sing in the time in between

So many ways
Your love has saved the day
And I'm grateful for them all

But it's the time in between
The middle of two thieves
That says everything
It's the reason I believe
I'm amazed, so amazed
And I thank you for the time in between
Oh Lord, I thank you for the time in between


12.Lead Me To The Cross

Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
You are
Te word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen

Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your hear

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross


13.Keeping Me Guessing

Coffee cup waking me up
I've got to board a plane
And fly away sometimes
I feel like I'm going the speed of light

Can't relax I'm moving too fast
I want to find the gold but I don't have a map
I wish that I could know
what you've got in store for me

I try and try
To read your mind
'Cause I forget that patience is a virtue
You're teaching me to hold on tight

'Cause I don't know how the story ends
But I'll be alright 'cause You wrote it
I don't know where the highway bends
But I'm doing just fine
'Cause You're in control
Even when I don't know
Where my life's gonna go
You're keeping me guessing

So slow me down
Show me around
I want to see the world
That I've been without
I am here and now
The future is out of my hands

I'm trusting you
And how you move
I won't forget that patience is a virtue
You're teaching me to hold on tight

'Cause I don't know how the story ends
But I'll be alright 'cause You wrote it
I don't know where the highway bends
But I'm doing just fine
'Cause You're in control
Even when I don't know
Where my life's gonna go
You're keeping me guessing

Seasons come
And seasons go
But you decide

'Cause I don't know how the story ends
But I'll be alright 'cause You wrote it
I don't know where the highway bends
But I'm doing just fine

'Cause I don't know how the story ends
But I'll be alright 'cause You wrote it
I don't know where the highway bends
But I'm doing just fine
'Cause You're in control
Even when I don't know
Where my life's gonna go
You're keeping me guessing
