Salt Line

[Intro] My heart hurts Mm-mm My heart hurts [Verse 1] I can feel you pulling back from me Like the tide don’t trust the moon You’re standing close enough to touch But miles across the room I know I made your quiet loud I know I turned your faith to doubt You gave me somewhere safe to land And I still reached out with both my hands [Pre-Chorus] My hands are on your chest, put yours against my soul Need you to set me free, but I can't lose control I’m aching, shaking, breaking, taking Every piece of blame I’m folding, falling, calling, crawling Through the fire I made [Chorus] I wish that I could change Could love only the one Would never rearrange Every promise once begun I wish I had a heart That knew how to stay still But I love like water running And I hate the way it spills [Post-Chorus] (I’m so sorry) (I’m so sorry) (My heart hurts) [Verse 2] Don’t think you aren’t enough for me Don’t let that poison touch your mind You are every kind of beautiful I just cannot draw the line And I know it sounds like weakness I know it feels like lies But I never meant to wound you With the way my heart divides [Pre-Chorus] My hands are on your chest, put yours against my soul Need you to set me free, but I can't lose control I’m aching, shaking, breaking, taking All the hurt you never earned I’m praying, staying, straying, saying Words too late to turn [Chorus] I wish that I could change Could love only the one Would never rearrange Every promise once begun I wish I had a heart That knew how to stay still But I love like water running And I hate the way it spills [Post-Chorus] (I’m so sorry) (I'm so sorry) (My heart hurts) [Bridge] Trace the tracks of my tears Maybe the salt line Will ease some of your fears Baby, follow them down To the truth I couldn’t hide Every drop says I love you Every drop says I tried And if you have to hate me I won’t ask you not to If you have to leave me I’ll understand the cost too But don’t you ever wonder If your love was less than gold You were never half a heaven My love just cannot be controlled [Final Chorus] I wish that I could change Could love only the one Would never rearrange Every promise once begun I wish my love was simple I wish my need was clean But my heart keeps reaching outward For something in between [Outro] My hands are on your chest (My heart hurts) Put yours against my soul Need you to set me free (My heart hurts) But I can't lose control...
