[Intro Hook]
You only reach for me
When the world has bruised your hands

[Verse 1]
And I always let you in
Like the broken understand
I keep the porch light burning
For a man who only comes
When the sky has turned against him
And he's got nowhere else to run
But when your storm blows over
You vanish like a hymn
And I'm left here in the quiet
Talking to the wind again

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell myself it's love
When you're falling through my door
But I'm starting to remember
I am worth a little more

[Chorus]
You only love me when I'm crying
Only hold me when I fall apart
And maybe that's the cruelest thing
To confuse comfort with a heart
You come around in the wreckage
And you're gone by the light of day
You only love me when I'm breaking
And I'm tired of breaking that way

[Verse 2]
I replay every conversation
Turn it over in the dark
Reading simple words you gave me
Like they prove there's something wrong
And I don't blame you completely
This was cracked long before
But somehow every wound I carry
Still goes crawling to your door

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tell myself it's love
When you're falling through my door
But I'm starting to remember
I am worth a little more

[Bridge]
You leave
And suddenly I can hear
Every quiet thing I believe about myself
But I'm done letting your leaving
Be the voice I listen to
I can hold my own together
Better than you ever do

[Final Chorus]
You only loved me when I'm crying
Only held me when I fell apart
And I finally see it clearly
That was never really a heart
So don't come knocking in the wreckage
I won't leave the light on this way
You only loved me when I'm breaking
And I'm done breaking that way

[Outro]
I'm done breaking that way
I'm done breaking that way
Gonna leave the light on for myself
And let the rest fade
