Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born in a clean white room
Or under a cracked roof line
Same first cry, same first breath
Same small hands, same thin time
We grow on borrowed minutes
We learn the shape of loss
A family or broken apart
Still everyone pays the cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why we bloom so bright
Then fade so fast
Why give us a whole wide heart
Then make it last just past
[Chorus]
Why make us here?
Why take us back?
Why build us up
Then leave us cracked?
We hold on tight
We fade to dust
Why make us love?
Why break us up?
(why break us up)
[Verse 2]
Some get a table full
Some get an empty chair
Some learn love from a warm voice
Some learn it from the air
But the clock don't ask
If your house was full or bare
It closes every door
Like it never knew you იქ there
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why we shine so brief
Then turn to ash
Why hand us a day that hurts
And call it a path
[Chorus]
Why make us here?
Why take us back?
Why build us up
Then leave us cracked?
We hold on tight
We fade to dust
Why make us love?
Why break us up?
(why break us up)
[Bridge]
If this is how it goes
Then hold me while I fall
If this is all we get
Then let me feel it all
A name, a touch, a face
A bowl set at the door
A little bit of now
Is all I can ask for
[Final Chorus]
Why make us here?
Why take us back?
Why build us up
Then leave us cracked?
We hold on tight
We fade to dust
Why make us love?
Why break us up?
(why break us up)
Why make us here?
Why take us back?
