Half a Heart

She’s just a girl born in stormy weather

Her heart a victim of the wreckage left behind

But she’s somehow managed to pull it all together

Strong enough to dig a hole and bury it inside

And the boys in her town seem to take pleasure

In mining little heart pieces to help them feel alive

And the cycle seems to turn like this forever

Leaving ripples in its wake, rolling through all time

Now she says lock the door behind when you leave the bed

I've learned the hard way it’s better to rest instead

Of worry on these things I can’t control

If there’s something that needs said

Let me climb down in this hole

Because I’ve only half a heart to break

So be gentle when you let me down

There’s no easy way to prove that I'm a keeper

Consistency lacks what a ring provides

So we’ll go on holding on like this together

Clearing any wreckage for those following behind

Now she says lock the door behind when you leave the bed

I've learn the hard way it’s better to rest instead

Of worry on these things I can’t control

If there’s something that need said

Let me climb down in this hole

'Cause I’ve only half a heart to break

So be gentle when you let me down

So be gentle when you let me down
