[Verse 1]
Brooke’s got ink on her fingers
From the note she never sent
Phone lit up like a warning
Names she’ll dial
Then she won’t hit send
Laugh
Then cry in a second
“Are you leaving?” though I just walked in
Says she’s tired of the movies
But she hates when the credits begin
[Chorus]
Brooke on the edge of a feeling
Says she’s fine while the tears run through
“I’m too much
I’m too little”
But I swear that the truth is you
Brooke on the edge
And I’m staying
Through the storms that she swears I’ll lose
If her heart is a house that’s breaking
I’ll sit in the ruins with you
[Verse 2]
Smudged black on her pillow
Mascara maps where her thoughts have been
She’ll push hard just to pull me
“If you loved me
You’d already quit”
Break my name into pieces
Throw it hard
Then she holds my hand
Says she’s scared I’ll discover
Every side she can’t understand
[Chorus]
Brooke on the edge of a feeling
Says she’s fine while the tears run through
“I’m too much
I’m too little”
But I swear that the truth is you
Brooke on the edge
And I’m staying
Through the storms that she swears I’ll lose
If her heart is a house that’s breaking
I’ll sit in the ruins with you
[Bridge]
She says
“One day
You’ll vanish”
Like the smoke from her last late light
I say
“Brooke
You are not damage
You’re the proof that a heart can fight”
(oh) if the waves keep on crashing
I’ll be shouting her name above
She’s a thousand sharp fragments
And I’m bleeding
But calling it love
[Chorus]
Brooke on the edge of a feeling
Says she’s fine while the tears run through
“I’m too much
I’m too little”
But I swear that the truth is you
Brooke on the edge
And I’m staying
Through the storms that you swear I’ll lose
If your heart is a house that’s breaking
I’ll sit in the ruins with you (with you)
