[Verse 1]
You drew a circle instead of a heart
Said hearts break but circles go on forever,
Said you'd had your heart shattered too many times
"Can’t chance it being broken again
If I’m gonna fall, I need something that lasts
So I’m drawing circles ‘cause of my past
I don’t trust love like I did back then"
You laughed but your eyes were hiding storms
You said “I’ve got rules now when it comes to love”
[Chorus]
I drew a circle instead of a heart
'Cause hearts break
But circles go on forever
If I'm in yours and you're in mine
We don't fade
We just hold on together"
Love ain't perfect, it comes and it scars
So I colored us in
Right there in the middle
Of a circle instead of a heart
[Verse 2]
I could feel your fear like it was mine
Still I slid my hand in yours and tried
I said
Well I’ve had mine busted bleedin’ too
Still I’m laying it down in your hands
If we’re gonna fall, let’s fall all the way
Let your circle let my heart in
You drew a circle instead of a heart
But I’m praying it’s the shape we’re living in
[Chorus]
We drew circles instead of hearts
'Cause hearts break
Circles go on forever
If I'm in yours and you're in mine
We don't fade
We just hold on together
Love ain't perfect, it comes and it scars
So I colored us in
Right there in the middle
Of a circle instead of a heart
[Verse 3]
Years gone by, that paper's worn
Fridge door rattles every storm
We've had raised voices, slamming doors
Slept back to back on different floors
But every fight, each restless night
I see that ring of ink and light
Baby, we bend, yeah, we've seen hard parts
But we don't crack like those old hearts
[Chorus]
Draw a circle instead of a heart
'Cause hearts break
But circles go on forever
If you're in theirs and they're in yours
You won't fade
You'll just hold on together
Life gets heavy, it pulls you apart
So color love in
Right there in the middle
Draw a circle instead of a heart
