break me softly

Verse 1

When you see me now,

you don’t see me right

Sometimes I cry

even when we don’t fight

You’re right here

but it feels like you’re gone

I don’t see the spark

that we once called ours

Pre-Chorus

I try to hold on, but it slips away

I keep hoping you’ll choose to stay

Even in the dark, I’m here somehow

But I can’t fix the silence now

Chorus

Please break me softly

leave my heart alone

I’ve been saving pieces

I’ve never shown

Why are we here

dancing in the quiet?

Even when you’re near, I feel so far

Tracing memories

that won’t heal the scar

Verse 2

I reach for you, but you’re not the same

Words fall empty, nothing left to say

I watch your shadow fade in the light

Two lost souls in the middle of the night

I want to stay, I want to make it right

But silence keeps us in this fight

Pre-Chorus

I try to hold on, but it slips away

I keep hoping you’ll choose to stay

Even in the dark, I’m here somehow

But I can’t fix the silence now

Chorus

Please break me softly

leave my heart alone

I’ve been saving pieces

I’ve never shown

Why are we here

dancing in the quiet?

Even when you’re near, I feel so far

Tracing memories

that won’t heal the scar

Bridge

I try to hold on

but it slips away

I’m still hoping

you’ll choose to stay

Final Chorus

Please break me softly

leave my heart alone

I’ve been saving pieces

I’ve never shown

Why are we here

dancing in the quiet?

Even when you’re near, I feel so far

Tracing memories

that won’t heal the scar
