Breaking Mine Won’t Mend Yours Verse 1 There’s a name I don’t say often But it’s never far away There’s a thousand things I’d tell you If we ever had the day I made the choices I knew how to With the life I had back then And I’d give a lot to know the things I didn’t understand Verse 2 I’ve spent years getting better At the things I used to do wrong Built a life that looks much different From the one I knew back then Some nights I lay there wondering What the years have been to you And all the things you might’ve needed That I never got to do Chorus I’ve been grieving something living Missing someone who’s not gone Had a thousand conversations With a voice that ain’t come home And I know I can’t undo it Can’t make all those years rewind I kept trying to mend a broken heart By breaking more of mine Verse 3 I’ve been good at taking blame Even when it wasn’t mine Thought the weight would make me better If I carried it enough times But I can’t put back the pieces Of a life I cannot see And hating who I used to be Ain’t making much of me Chorus I’ve been grieving something living Missing someone who’s not gone Had a thousand conversations With a voice that ain’t come home And I can’t tell you how you’re feeling Or what’s been on your mind But I’ve learned that breaking mine Won’t ever mend what’s hurting inside Bridge And if we never get that morning When there’s nothing left between I still want to be the kind of man I’d have wanted you to see Not because it earns forgiveness Not because it changes time But because the love I carry Should make something good of mine Final Chorus I’ve been grieving something living And I’ve loved you all along I don’t know where life will take us Or if the road will lead back home And I can’t give back the years Or make the stars realign But I can love you through the distance Without destroying what is mine Outro If you ever come looking I won’t tell you what to feel I’ll just be there as I am. And let you tell me what’s real.
