Buck Naked Heart Lyrics - Patty Griffin

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
