Guarding My Broken Heart
[Verse 1] Late text You said, “it’s fine” Short breath I read the lines Backwards Between the lies Tiny shards In every “hi” I learned How still I can be Sit guard At the gate of me Both hands On a rusted key Same wound Just a deeper bleed [Chorus] So I’ll stay here, guarding my broken heart Ooooo, oh my Ooooo, oh my Tracing every crack like a work of art Ooooo, oh my love Ooooo, oh my love Is this what you wanted from the start? Ooooo, oh my Ooooo, oh my So I’ll stay here, guarding my broken heart [Verse 2] Your shirt Still on my chair Soft ghost In the empty air You said You were almost there Almost love Is a quiet scare I talk To the ceiling fan Round and round Like we had a plan You left With your open hands I’m left With the sinking sand [Chorus] So I’ll stay here, guarding my broken heart Ooooo, oh my Ooooo, oh my Tracing every crack like a work of art Ooooo, oh my love Ooooo, oh my love Is this what you wanted from the start? Ooooo, oh my Ooooo, oh my So I’ll stay here, guarding my broken heart [Bridge] Tell me, love, was I too much? (too much) Or not enough when you’d lose touch? (lose touch) Did you ever mean the words you carved in me Or were they just drafts you forgot to keep? [Chorus] So I’ll stay here, guarding my broken heart Ooooo, oh my Ooooo, oh my Tracing every crack like a work of art Ooooo, oh my love Ooooo, oh my love Is this what you wanted from the start? Ooooo, oh my Ooooo, oh my So I’ll stay here, guarding my broken heart
