(Verse 1)
I had my own keys, my own front door,
But I still got pulled like I was before.
Two broken hearts, one on each side,
And I stood between with no place to hide.
(Pre-Chorus)
I kept telling myself late at night,
“Hold them together, make it alright.”
(Chorus)
I was torn between your shattered dreams,
Caught in the middle of love and grief.
Trying to hold you when you fell apart,
While mending my own fragile heart.
I tried to be the glue, I tried to be strong,
But living like this just feels so wrong.
You never meant to hurt me so,
But you didn’t see I couldn’t let go.
⸻
(Verse 2)
I cooked your meals, I calmed her tears,
Listened to anger, swallowed my fears.
Grown-up bills, grown-up life,
Still just a child between your fights.
(Pre-Chorus)
And I kept whispering late at night,
“Hold them together, make it alright.”
(Chorus)
I was torn between your shattered dreams,
Caught in the middle of love and grief.
Trying to hold you when you fell apart,
While mending my own fragile heart.
I tried to be the glue, I tried to be strong,
But living like this just feels so wrong.
You never meant to hurt me so,
But you didn’t see I couldn’t let go.
⸻
(Bridge)
I love you both, I always will,
Even when the nights fall still.
But sometimes love is not enough,
When healing asks for letting up.
⸻
(Chorus)
I was torn between your shattered dreams,
Caught in the middle of love and grief.
Trying to hold you when you fell apart,
While mending my own fragile heart.
I tried to be the glue, I tried to be strong,
But living like this just feels so wrong.
You never meant to hurt me so,
But you didn’t see I couldn’t let go.
I’m still torn between your shattered dreams,
Still that child in the in-between.
But I’ve learned to breathe, I’ve learned to stay,
To love you both in my own way.
You never meant to hurt me so,
But now I see – it’s time to let go.
