Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You said you liked my old blue sweater

Frayed at the cuffs

Said it looked like I’d been living

Not just making stuff up

We shared a coffee on the corner

You read every line on my face

I was still learning how to show up

Still sprinting through every day

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept my fears in the backseat

Let you drive

But I watched the road

You kept asking what I was hiding

I kept calling it “taking it slow”

[Chorus]

I was loving you in a half-light heart

One foot in

One eye on the dark

Every time you reached

I turned away

Scared you’d see the mess I’d made

But you stayed there

Breathing in my storms

Held your ground through every false alarm

I broke apart

Then I broke my guard

Now I’m learning how to love you with a whole heart

[Verse 2]

You found my letters in a shoebox

Names I won’t say

The way I begged them not to leave me

Then pushed them away

You didn’t flinch

You didn’t lecture

Just traced the ink on the page

Said

“You don’t have to be the bravest

To be brave enough to stay”

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept my hand on the handle

Just in case I had to run

You kept your eyes on the moment

Said

“I’m right here

I’m not done” (I’m not done)

[Chorus]

I was loving you in a half-light heart

One foot in

One eye on the dark

Every time you reached

I turned away

Scared you’d see the mess I’d made

But you stayed there

Breathing in my storms

Held your ground through every false alarm

I broke apart

Then I broke my guard

Now I’m learning how to love you with a whole heart

[Bridge]

I used to think that growing up

Meant never crying

Never stuck

But you saw the child in all my plans

Kissed the ink stains on my hands (oh)

If I shake while I’m reaching

Would you still meet me halfway?

If I lose all my reasons

Will you love me anyway?

[Chorus]

I’m done loving you in a half-light heart

Turn the dimmer up

Tear it apart

If it scares me now

I’ll stay right here

Let you see every crack

Every tear

’Cause you stayed there

Breathing in my storms

Made my chaos feel like home’s front porch

I broke apart

Now I’m not that far

From finally loving with a whole

Whole heart (oh)

Yeah

I’m finally loving with a whole heart
