Broken Strings

[Verse 1]
I seen your name on the screen
My chest felt split at the seam
Tell me why it still stings
When you look so fine in my dreams

I drive past that old place
Same curb, same shattered face
You left your coat on my chair
Now the room still smells like you there

I laugh, then I break down
Same pain, different sound
I been tough for the crowd
But alone, I fold now

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to let it go
But it keep coming back
You got a way with a ghost
That drags me through the black

One more call, one more lie
Then we both say “fine”
But you know where I hide
When the whole world hits mine

[Chorus]
Don’t let me fall apart
Don’t let me fall apart
You had my whole heart
Now it’s torn in the dark

Don’t let me fall apart
Don’t let me fall apart
If you come back now
You still own these scars

[Verse 2]
Your hoodie on my chair
Your voice in my ear
I act like I don’t care
Then I sit with the fear

I keep your photo face down
Still talk to the ghost in the house
Got a hundred ways out
Still I can’t leave that town

They say heal, I say maybe
But the nights been moving so heavy
I’m one step from crazy
And you still got the best of me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I tried to let it go
But it keep coming back
You got a way with a ghost
That drags me through the black

One more call, one more lie
Then we both say “fine”
But you know where I hide
When the whole world hits mine

[Chorus]
Don’t let me fall apart
Don’t let me fall apart
You had my whole heart
Now it’s torn in the dark

Don’t let me fall apart
Don’t let me fall apart
If you come back now
You still own these scars

[Bridge]
If I say I’m good, I’m lying
If you smile, I start rewinding
Every cut, every fight
Every “please” in the night

So come close, say my name
Or leave me here with the flame
I can love and I can bleed
But I can’t keep both of these

[Final Chorus]
Don’t let me fall apart
Don’t let me fall apart
You had my whole heart
Now it’s torn in the dark

Don’t let me fall apart
Don’t let me fall apart
If you come back now
You still own these scars
