Habits

(Verse 1)

Cracks in her smile, shadows in her eyes

Stories in her scars, yeah she’s full of goodbyes

She says she’s okay, but I see through the lies

I’m already rolling up my sleeves, ready to try

(Pre-Chorus)

Every time I pull her from the fire

I end up burned, but I keep going higher

(Chorus)

I got a habit, bad habit

Wanting to fix broken women

Glue up the pieces, light up the dark

Build her a world from the mess in her heart

I know it’s crazy, I know it’s dumb

But my heart keeps running back for more, hun

Yeah I got a habit, can’t shake this habit

Fixing broken women, broken women

(Verse 2)

She’s a storm in a dress, thunder in her touch

I tell myself “this time won’t hurt so much”

Stay up all night rewriting her past

Turn her “never again” into “at last”

(Pre-Chorus)

Waves come crashing, colors start to fade

I’m still here standing in the mess we made

(Chorus)

I got a habit, bad habit

Wanting to fix broken women

Glue up the pieces, light up the dark

Build her a world from the mess in her heart

I know it’s crazy, I know it’s dumb

But my heart keeps running back for more, hun

Yeah I got a habit, can’t shake this habit

Fixing broken women, broken women

(Bridge – half-time feel, then build)

Maybe someday I’ll fix what’s inside of me

Stop playing savior, set us both free

’Cause the real broken one might be looking back

In the mirror every time I chase what I lack

(Final Chorus – bigger, with ad-libs)

I got a habit, bad habit (bad habit!)

Wanting to fix broken women

Glue up the pieces, light up the dark (light it up!)

Build her a world from the mess in her heart

I know it’s crazy, yeah I know it’s dumb

But damn if I don’t love every single one

I got a habit, can’t shake this habit

Fixing broken women… broken women…

(Outro – fading repeats)

Broken women… (I got a habit)

Broken women… (yeah I got a habit)

Fixing broken women…
