[Verse 1]
I wrote my name in the cracks
Thought that would hold us fast
Kids in the next room sleepin’
While we talkin’ through glass
Same fight, same floor
Same hurt on repeat
I keep reachin’ for your hand
It keep foldin’ on me
You say “stay for the kids”
I say “I’m stayin’ too”
But love can’t live in a house
Where the trust don’t move
I been patient, I been silent
I been bitin’ my tongue
But every promise that you make
Comes back undone
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to make it work
Tried to make it bend
But every bridge we built
Burns before the end
[Chorus]
Broken bridges, broken trust
We keep draggin’ what was us
For the kids, I stayed this long
But the same old hurt goes on
Broken bridges, broken trust
Ain’t no “we” left here to clutch
I don’t hate you, I just know
Some love don’t let you go
[Verse 2]
I see my son in my eyes
When he ask, “Why you tired?”
I see my daughter watchin’
How we handle the fire
That’s the part that kills me
More than all of the lies
They learn love from our scars
And they read it in our eyes
I’m not tryna win this
I’m tryna keep it real
But keepin’ it together
Ain’t the same as heal
You won’t change, I can’t pretend
That this don’t break me in two
I’m out here buildin’ exits
While I’m holdin’ on to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to make it work
Tried to make it bend
But every bridge we built
Burns before the end
[Chorus]
Broken bridges, broken trust
We keep draggin’ what was us
For the kids, I stayed this long
But the same old hurt goes on
Broken bridges, broken trust
Ain’t no “we” left here to clutch
I don’t hate you, I just know
Some love don’t let you go
[Bridge]
If I stay, I fade out
If I leave, I still hurt
Either way, the kids see
Two people in the dirt
I wanted one more sunrise
One more honest try
But you keep feedin’ old wounds
And I’m outta alibis
[Final Chorus]
Broken bridges, broken trust
We keep draggin’ what was us
For the kids, I stayed this long
But the same old hurt goes on
Broken bridges, broken trust
Ain’t no “we” left here to clutch
I don’t hate you, I just know
Some love don’t let you go
