Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will have to die for this, I fear
There's rage and terror and there's sickness here
I fight because I have to
I fight for us to know the truth

[Chorus]
There's not enough rope to tie me down
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
The stones you throw can make me bleed
But I won't stop until we're free
Wild hearts can't be broken
No, wild hearts can't be broken

[Verse 2]
This is my rally cry
I know it's hard, we have to try
This is a battle I must win
To want my share is not a sin

[Chorus]
There's not enough rope to tie me down
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
The stones you throw can make me bleed
But I won't stop until we're free
'Cause wild hearts can't be broken
No, wild hearts can't be broken

[Bridge]
You beat me, betray me
You're losing, we're winning
My spirit above me
You cannot deny me
My freedom is burning
This broken world keeps turning
I'll never surrender
There's nothing, but a victory

[Chorus]
There's not enough rope to tie me down, oh
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
The stones you throw can make me bleed
But I won't stop until we're free
Wild hearts can't be broken
Wild hearts can't be broken
This wild heart can't be broken

About

Inspired by the suffragette movement of the 19th century, Pink sings about the strength of the “wild hearts” of the dreamers especially women, on the piano ballad, “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken”

In her Apple Music documentary, P!nk shares that she originally wrote the song for the 2015 film Suffragette. While P!nk has several other political songs in her repertoire, “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” is incredibly resonant in its release in 2017 during the days of the sexual assault scandals coming to the surface and subsequent discussions about rape culture and women coming forward on social media under the #MeToo movement.

Pink performed the song at 2018 Grammy Awards accompanied onstage by an American Sign Language interpreter, both wearing jeans, and simple white tops.

What have the artists said about the song?

Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken’ for me is that: it’s my feminist chant. It was a very interesting time. I was trying to figure out what’s important to me now as a mom, because that’s my number one thing.
