Lyrics
You don't reach for me in daylight Only when my voice goes thin Your hands go quiet on my shoulder Like they're reading all my skin You get hungry when I'm folding Like you know just where to move There's a version of me you want And it isn't when I'm true Would you stay if I was steady? Would you hold me if I'm whole? Or do you only pull me closer when there’s nothing left to hold? You only love me broken When my voice won't hold a line You don't want the whole of me Just the parts I can't keep tight You only love me broken When my hands forget their shape You don't reach for who I am Just the cracks I let you take I could keep myself together I can feel the pull in my chest But I loosen every anchor Just so you can take what’s left I let pieces fall between us Let you watch me come apart If it keeps you just a little Closer to my fragile heart Would you want me if I'm steady? Would you stay if I don't shake? Or do you only come alive here When there's something left to break? You only love me broken When my voice won't hold a line You don't want the whole of me Just the parts I can't hold tight You only love me broken When my hands forget their shape You don't reach for who I am Just the cracks I let you take Did I train you how to love me Only when I start to split? Did I show you where to hold me So you wouldn't feel the rest? I could stand here without breaking I could give you something whole But I sharpen every fracture Just to keep you close You only love me broken And I let you every time I keep giving you the pieces Just to feel you stay tonight You only love me broken And I don't even resist There's a part of me that needs it Just to keep you leaning in If I held myself together Would I still want you to stay?
