When Everything Falls

I showed up with the rain on my sleeves Trying to smile

like nobody sees

Jenny said, “You don’t have to be strong”

Tristan turned the porch light on

I had a heart full of unsent goodbyes And a little more

hurt than I could hide

They made room for the mess in me Like broken was still

allowed to breathe When I couldn’t find my way back home When

the silence cut me to the bone

Two voices called through the dark And found me right where I

was

Jenny and Tristan,

you carried me

When I was sinking underneath the deep

You held the pieces I couldn’t hold Stayed when the night got

cold

If I ever learn to love this life again

It’ll be because you didn’t let me end

My heart was gone,

but you pulled me through

Jenny and Tristan,

I owe it all

to you

Jenny knows every word I don’t say

Tristan makes the heavy feel less weight We drove nowhere with the

windows down Let the old tears fall outside of town

I was afraid that the hurt was my name

Afraid every good thing would fade

But they laughed till the sunrise came And made a little light

out of my pain

And if the world takes turns we never planned

If one day you need a place to land

I’ll be the porch light,

I’ll be the open door

I’ll give you every bit you gave me and more

Jenny and Tristan,

you carried me

Now I can breathe,

now I can finally see

You held the pieces I couldn’t hold Turned all that sorrow into

gold

If I ever learn to love this life again

It’ll be because you stayed until the end My heart was gone,

but you pulled me through

Jenny and Tristan,

I’ll always choose you

When the night gets cold

You’ll never be alone

Jenny and Tristan

You brought me home
