Lyrics: A Good Heart

I hear a lot of stories, i suppose they could be true
All about love and what it can do to you
High is the risk of striking out, the risk of getting hurt
And still i have so much to learn

Well i know 'cause i think about it all the time
I know that real love is hard to find

And a good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

My expectations may be high, i blame it on my youth
Soon enough i'll learn the painful truth
I'll face it like a fighter then boast of how i've grown
Anything is better than being alone

Well i know 'cause i learn a little every day
I know 'cause i listen when the experts say that...

A good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

As i reflect on all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren't as foolish as they seemed
If i don't start looking now i'll be left behind
And a good heart these days, it's hard to find

Well i know, it's a dream i'm willing to defend
I know it will all be worth it in the end

A good heart these days is hard to find
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart these days is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine
