I fixed your heart

Only to break my own

It's not easy to watch you walk away

When you're the only home I've known

Sorry, you'll have to watch me fall apart

So that you can stay whole

I fixed your heart

Yet I'm all alone

It'll all come out in the wash

Sooner or later I'll face it

I wasn't enough

I love you so much

Forever paying the cost

You're high on love's bright lights,

and I will self - destruct

I played my part

Now you've stopped the show

It's not easy to watch you walk away

When you're the only home I've known

Sorry, you'll have to watch me fall apart

So that you can stay whole

I fixed your heart

Yet I'm the one alone

It'll all come out in the wash

Sooner or later I'll face it

I wasn't enough

I love you so much

Forever paying the cost

You're high on love's bright lights,

and I will self - destruct
