Broken Strings

Broken Strings
Funny how fairy tales work
When beautiful things start to hurt
We didn’t make it this far to let go
Still a familiar call
Echoing what came before
There’s guaranteed to be flames where there’s smoke

Oh won’t you talk to me, if your words are bittersweet
Play my broken strings on repeat, on repeat
If you want more from me, when you’ve taken what you need
Every missing piece fits like a puzzle to my heart, you can keep
If I could take back all the words
That cut you so deeply they hurt
I’d leave my fingerprints on your halo
Memories fade over time
Still in the back of my mind
I’m hoping the Sun’s gonna shine tomorrow
Oh won’t you talk to me, if your words are bittersweet
Play my broken strings on repeat, on repeat
If you want more from me, when you’ve taken what you need
Every missing piece fits like a puzzle to my heart, you can keep
