You're an open gate
On a barbed wire fence
Swinging back and forth
You know it scares me half to death
Funny how it moved
From a blessing to a curse
Ain't it funny how we moved
From the cursed to the doomed

Will you
Will you unwind
This heart of mine?
Heart of mine
Will you
Will you unwind
This heart of mine?
Heart of mine

Busted but not broke
Shaken up and stirred
Watch out who you tell
This night is hanging on each word
But when the morning comes
And the lies are cheap
You'll say: "To live is to lose"
I'll say: "Losing's the one thing that we all keep"

Will you
Will you unwind
This heart of mine?
Heart of mine
Will you
Will you unwind
This heart of mine?
Heart of mine

Will you
Will you unwind
This heart of mine?
Heart of mine
Will you
Will you unwind
This heart of mine?
Heart of mine

Both a blessing and a curse
In everything we've heard
A blessing and a curse
This night is hanging on each word
