Desire of Your Heart

from Bible Belt Baby by Flamy Grant

/

lyrics

How long have you waited for me?
How many seasons, how many stormy
Skies moved in a time lapse picture
As you let the rain mask your tears?

How many fools tried to write your story?
How many names did they give you before we
Finally drove out of the county
Drove away from the only town we knew?

There was nowhere the bastards wouldn’t try to drag you down
And it was so rare to find a place where you could dream out loud
But even though there were years we spent apart
I have always been the desire of your heart

How deep did they sink their teeth in?
How much venom did they leave inside?
I felt you suffocating,
Soaked in shame, barely scraping by

How long did the lies deceive us?
What was the truth that finally freed us
From the fear and brought catharsis?
When did you realize your heart was good?

When they see you now, they sigh and shake their heads in shame
It’s like they need to flag you down and say how much you’ve changed
But we both know I was there right from the start
This has always been the desire of your heart
