Half of me

You show up like nothing’s wrong,

Like you ain’t been gone that long.

Say my name like it still holds weight,

And I pretend I’m not afraid.

You’ve got that smile that opens doors,

And I’m the fool who lets you in once more.

You swear this time you’ll stay,

But your promises don’t pray.

Half of me’s still holding on,

The other half knows you’ll be gone.

You say the words I wanna hear,

But I’ve heard ‘em all for years.

You light me up then blow it cold,

Take what you need, then lose control.

I know I should set you free…

But half of me still believes.

You pull me in like a midnight tide,

Say you’re better now, swear you’ve tried.

And I wanna trust, I wanna stay,

But the damage never fades away.

You lay your head on my regret,

Say you’re sorry, then forget.

Half of me’s still holding on,

The other half knows you’ll be gone.

You say the words I wanna hear,

But I’ve heard ‘em all for years.

You light me up then blow it cold,

Take what you need, then lose control.

I know I should set you free…

But half of me still believes.

I build us up, you tear us down,

We spin our love ‘round and ‘round.

And every time I draw that line—

You cross it like it ain’t mine.

Half of me’s still holding on,

The other half knows you’ll be gone.

Your touch still feels like home,

Even when I feel alone.

You light me up, then burn me slow,

Take what you want and let me go.

I know I should set you free…

But half of me still believes.

Yeah, half of me still believes.
