Charles Wesley Godwin - Half A Heart lyrics

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 it's 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
