Hearts on the Line

I kept the porch light burning

You kept a place for me

We counted pennies by the kitchen sink Made dinner out of almost

nothing You wore my coat when the winter came

I said I'm fine,

but you saw me bluffing

Every promise had a price to pay Every mile took sleep from

our eyes

Still you smiled like dawn could stay If we held on through

the night

If I had to lose the easy road

I'd choose the one that brings me home

Cause love is not the softer part

It's hands that work and open hearts

I would give the better half of me

If it meant your heart could breathe Lay my comfort at your

feet Call it love,

call it sacrifice

When the road takes more than it gives I'll spend my strength

so we can live

You and I, we pay the price

Call it love, call it sacrifice

You sold your ring when the rent came due I missed a

dream to stand beside you

Not every wound becomes a scar

Some become a map of who we are We learned the weight

of staying true

We learned what giving really means

Less of me and more of you More of us in everything

I would give the better half of me

If it meant your heart could breathe Lay my comfort at your

feet Call it love,

call it sacrifice

When the road takes more than it gives I'll spend my strength

so we can live

You and I, we pay the price

Call it love, call it sacrifice

Take my plans, take my pride

Leave me standing by your side

If the door is hard to close

I'll be the shoulder holding hope We are more than what we

own

We are stronger letting go I

would give the better half of me

If it meant your heart could breathe Lay my comfort at your

feet Call it love,

call it sacrifice

You and I, we pay the price

Call it love, call it sacrifice

Call it love Call it sacrifice
