Bonnie Raitt Wounded Heart Lyrics

Wounded Heart Lyrics

Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself

Though I wanted to be brave,
it never helped.

‘Cause your trouble’s like a flood raging through your
veins

No amount of love’s enough to end the pain



Tenderness and
time can heal a right gone wrong, 

but the anger that you feel goes on and
on.

And it’s not enough to know that I love you still

So I’ll take
my heart and go for I’ve had my fill



If you listen you can hear the
angel’s wings

Up above our heads so near they are hovering

Waiting to
reach out for love when it falls apart

When it cannot rise above a wounded
heart. 



When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.

Wounded heart I
cannot save you from yourself

Though I wanted to be brave, it never
helped.

‘Cause your trouble’s like a flood raging through your
veins

No amount of love’s enough to end the pain



Tenderness and
time can heal a right gone wrong, 

but the anger that you feel goes on and
on.

And it’s not enough to know that I love you still

So I’ll take
my heart and go for I’ve had my fill



If you listen you can hear the
angel’s wings

Up above our heads so near they are hovering

Waiting to
reach out for love when it falls apart

When it cannot rise above a wounded
heart. 



When it cannot rise above a wounded heart.
