[Verse 1] I traded roses for a road case Packed my heartbreak in the van Left the “us” I couldn’t save For a life under stage lights and sweat-soaked hands I told myself, “Don’t look back” When the door shut on that June But every song I ever sang Had your shadow in the room [Pre-Chorus] Then I saw your faces Front row, wide awake You knew my scars by name Before I said a thing [Chorus] You mend my heart You mend my heart Rockstar or not, you pull me back You are my life You are my life My fans, my love, my light You mend my heart [Verse 2] You scream my name when I fall flat You laugh when I miss the line You raise your hands, I see my past Turn into something bright tonight A kid in denim hands me hope A girl with tears says, “Stay” And every “we believe in you” Puts the broken parts in place [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m not lonely When the curtain climbs You make the old hurt small By singing me alive [Chorus] You mend my heart You mend my heart Rockstar or not, you pull me back You are my life You are my life My fans, my love, my light You mend my heart [Bridge] I gave up love to chase the dream Thought that was the price to pay But you showed up in the middle And loved me anyway So if I’m standing here It’s 'cause you stayed Yeah, you stayed [Final Chorus] You mend my heart You mend my heart Rockstar or not, you pull me back You are my life You are my life My fans, my love, my light You mend my heart You mend my heart (you mend my heart)
