half a heart
About this track
now on Spotify and free to download [Verse 1] You came ‘round in the morning like you didn’t disappear Left lipstick on the counter and regret in my mirror You say, “It’s complicated,” like that’s news to me But I’ve been solving puzzles since you lost your key [Pre-Chorus] I poured my love in your half-empty glass Watched you sip it slow, then let it pass You said you’re scared to feel too much So why’d you come back for that midnight touch? [Chorus] I can’t keep loving with half a heart While you keep pulling mine apart You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark If you can't stay, then don't even start— I ain't playing house with half a heart [Verse 2] Your records still spin like nothing’s wrong But the silence between the songs is long You wear that charm like it don’t cost a thing But darling, lies ain't gold, they just glitter and sting [Pre-Chorus] Told your mama I was just a phase She said I deserved a better place You keep your truth behind your smile But I’ve been wise to that for a while [Chorus] I can’t keep loving with half a heart While you keep pulling mine apart You're in, then gone, like a ghost at dark Boy, I need a flame, not just a spark If you can't stay, then don't even start— I ain't playing house with half a heart [Bridge – spoken/sung style] I’d rather dance alone in my red suede shoes Than share my bed with your shifting moods Don’t need your maybe, I want your more But I ain’t beggin’ like I did before [Final Chorus – soft at first, builds up] No, I can’t keep loving with half a heart You’re a haunted tune in a broken chart I’m done with the guessing, done with the art Of holding together what falls apart So take your silence, take your part— And leave me whole, with my full heart
