I've been hopelessly clutching out for something I can hold

I've been lying in the dark with no light in my soul

I've been rummaging around in the rain and the cold

I've been searching for diamonds in a pile of coal

I've been searching for diamonds in a pile of coal.

I've been reckless and ragged, I've been run into to the ground

I've been lost for so long I forgot I could be found

I've been holding my breath for the axe to come down

I've been searching for angels in the devil's town

I've been searching for angels in the devil's town.

Searching for a heart to love

Is like staring at the stars above

And there's a million I can see

But only one that shines for me

So I keep searching for a heart to love

Oh, to love.

Well, I've been dancing blindly, I've been preaching to the choir

I'm the boy who cried wolf but I dispute that I'm a liar

Oh and I left my frying pan to jump into the fire

I've built my house on the sand and I keep on building it higher

I've built my house on the sand and I keep on building it higher.

Searching for a heart to love

It's like staring at the stars above

You can't teach a heart to feel

What isn't there, what isn't real

So I'll keep searching for a heart to love.

Well, I keep searching, I keep searching

Yeah, I keep searching, I keep searching love

Yeah, I keep searching for a heart to love

Love

Love

Love.
