Breaking Every Piece
Quiet mornings, locked-up doors Counting footsteps on the hardwood floors Taught too
early how to bend and break By every promise that they had
to fake
Cold indifference in the way they’d talk She learned to armor up
and hide away
Waiting for the sky to turn to gray
And her heart was a castle with a bolted gate Told herself
that gentle was a trap to hate Then you walked in like
a melody And started breaking every piece of me
Oh, you smile like the morning breaking through the town Turning every
heavy brick of my armor down You love the pop songs playing
on the radio
And the sweet romance in every video
You look at me like I’m the only one you see Healing
every ghost that used to haunt me
Yeah, I’m scared to fall,
yeah, I’m learning how With a man who loves me right here,
right now
Now she hums along to every catchy tune
Underneath the silver of a quiet moon Watching old-time movies on the
living room rug
Safe inside the shelter of a steady hug You don’t rush the
winter in her fragile mind You just leave the gentle kind of
love behind
Keeping every promise that you said you’d keep
Cause her heart was a castle with a bolted gate Told herself
that gentle was a trap to hate
Then you walked in like a melody And started breaking every piece
of me
Oh, you smile like the morning breaking through the town Turning every
heavy brick of my armor down You love the pop songs playing
on the radio
And the sweet romance in every video
You look at me like I’m the only one you see Healing
every ghost that used to haunt me
Yeah, I’m scared to fall,
yeah, I’m learning how With a man who loves me right here,
right now
She loves babies, she loves quiet grace
Seeing all the kindness written on your face And that smile of
hers—God, it lights a room
Chasing out the winter,
making flowers bloom You don't ever raise your voice or make her
guess You just hold her close and turn away the mess First
time in her life she doesn't have to run You’re her whole
wide world, you’re her rising sun
(ooh) Oh, you smile like the morning breaking through the town Turning
every heavy brick of my armor down You love the pop songs
playing on the radio
And the sweet romance in every video You look at me like
I’m the only one you see Healing every ghost that used to
haunt me
Yeah, I’m scared to fall,
yeah, I’m learning how With a man who loves me right here,
right now
(right here, right now)
Right here, right now
Yeah, the gate is open and the walls are down With a
smile that lights a whole town
You're my whole world And I’m finally safe
