[Verse 1]
Don’t fuck around with my heart
I kept it open for you
Built you a place in the dark
Gave you a key, gave you truth
You came in acting all sure
Then left me holding the frame
If you were never for real
Why’d you come say my name?
[Pre-Chorus]
You lit the match
Then walked away
Now I’m the ash
You left to stay
[Chorus]
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
If you weren’t done
You should’ve never started
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
I gave you love
You gave me a broken heart
[Verse 2]
I got a knot in my chest
Like a rope in the rain
Tried to keep my cool
But you know how pain
Gets mean in the mouth
Gets loud in the night
Now every sweet little lie
Cut me up just right
You wanted the fire
But not the heat
Wanted the vow
Without the teeth
Now I’m out on the road
With a cracked-up song
Saying baby, baby
You did me wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
You lit the match
Then walked away
Now I’m the ash
You left to stay
[Chorus]
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
If you weren’t done
You should’ve never started
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
I gave you love
You gave me a broken heart
[Bridge]
I’m not begging you back
I’m naming the scar
Your goodbye was a blade
And it went too far
Now the dogs in my blood
Got a bone to pick
I can still taste the lie
Like a rusted-up kiss
[Final Chorus]
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
If you weren’t done
You should’ve never started
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
I gave you love
You gave me a broken heart
Don’t tear it apart
Don’t tear it apart
If you couldn’t stay
Then you should’ve never started
