I first heard this Julie Miller song a few years ago based on someone's recommendation. It is on the 1999 Broken Things cd. It needs no commentary as it is a wonderful song. I was thrilled when a lady sang it at our church last year, as it is a great place to sing it!
Broken Things
You can have my heart, though it isn't new,
It's been used and broken, and only comes in blue,
It's been down a long road, and it got dirty along the way,
If I give it to you, will you make it clean and wash the shame away?
You can have my heart, if you don't mind broken things,
You can have my life; you don't mind these tears,
Well, I heard that you make old things new, so I give these pieces all to you,
If you want it, you can have my heart.
So beyond repair, nothing I could do,
I tried to fix it myself, but it was only worse when I got through,
Then you walk right into my darkness and you speak words so sweet,
And you hold me like a child, 'til my frozen tears fall at your feet.
You can have my heart, if you don't mind broken things,
You can have my life if you don't mind these tears,
Well, I heard that you make old things new, so I give these pieces up to you,
If you want it, you can have my heart.
Here is Buddy Miller singing "Hole in My Head". Buddy and Julie Miller have a new album out called "Written in Chalk".
