[Verse 1] I make room at my table I save you the best seat I know how to listen I know how to keep the peace I hand out my bright side Like I got it to spare But I go home empty With my name in the air [Pre-Chorus] And I thought more love Would make me feel full But I’m still standing here With a hand on a wall I gave you my whole face My Sunday best grin Then I look in the mirror And I don’t know where I’ve been [Chorus] Half my heart, half my heart That’s all I leave with Half my heart, half my heart When I try to give it I give you my light I keep my dark part Half my heart, half my heart Still beats so hard [Verse 2] You call when you need me And I show up quick With the car door open And the little fixes I bring the warm food I bring the late replies I bring my open hands But not my asking why Everybody loves me When I make it look easy But the room gets bigger And it still feels empty [Pre-Chorus] And I thought being needed Was the same as being seen Now I’m learning the difference Between love and a scene I smile for the people I hold the door again But my own little heartbreak Keeps slipping through my skin [Chorus] Half my heart, half my heart That’s all I leave with Half my heart, half my heart When I try to give it I give you my light I keep my dark part Half my heart, half my heart Still beats so hard [Bridge] Maybe I don’t have to pour Till the cup runs dry Maybe I can keep a little For the ones who ask me why Maybe real love starts When I stop performing When I say I need you too And let that be important [Final Chorus] Half my heart, half my heart I’m done pretending Half my heart, half my heart Is never enough for giving I want real love Not just being seen apart Half my heart, half my heart I’m taking back my heart
