You're an open gate
   on a barbed wire fence
   swingin' back and forth
   you know it scares me half to death
   funny how it moved
   from a blessin' to a curse
   ain't it funny how we moved
   from the cursed, to the doomed
  
   will you
   will you unwind
   this heart of mine?
   heart of mine
  
   busted but not broke
   shaken up and stirred
   watch out who you tell
   this night is hangin' on eahc word
   but when the mornin' comes
   and the lies are cheap
   you'll say: "to live is to lose"
   I'll say: "losin's the one thing... that we all keep"
  
   will you... will you unwind?
   this heart of mine... heart of mine
  
   both a blessin' and a curse
   in everything we've heard
   a blessin' and a curse
   this night is hangin' on... each... word
