[Verse 1]
You liked the sound of saving me
But you just watched me fall apart
Drew blueprints on the back of napkins
Never learned my broken heart
All of your “someday
I promise”
Folded
Gathered dust on the floor
You named all the ways you’d change
Then walked right out the door
[Chorus]
He fixed what you broke
Did the things you only spoke
Where your echoes left me cold
He held on
He held close
He mends my broken pieces
Doesn’t flinch when it gets hard
He gently reminds me
I deserve love
I deserve love
[Verse 2]
You loved me most in theory
Wanted credit for the try
Called it “complicated timing”
Truth is
You never even tried
He sits with all my silence
Doesn’t rush me past the pain
Learns the language of my shaking
Says my name like it’s okay
[Chorus]
He fixed what you broke
Did the things you only spoke
Where your echoes left me cold
He held on
He held close
He mends my broken pieces
Doesn’t flinch when it gets hard
He gently reminds me
I deserve love
I deserve love
[Bridge]
You said I was “too much to carry”
Guess you never had the strength
He just takes my trembling hands
Walks with me the whole damn length (oh)
You taught me how to doubt my worth
He’s teaching me to stay
So if you ever wonder what you lost
I hope you hear me when I say
[Chorus]
He fixed what you broke
Did the things you only spoke
Where your echoes left me cold
He held on
He held close
He mends my broken pieces
Doesn’t run when it gets dark
He gently reminds me
I deserve love
I deserve love
Yeah
I deserve love
I deserve love
