Broken Ground

You put cracks in the blacktop,

Tore us loose at the seams.

Now I'm left with broken ground

Holding onto shattered dreams.

Why does being with you

Still feel like home to me?

Verse 1

I wake up tired

Needing your touch,

Need to leave, need to love,

My heart hits the brakes,

My feet hit the gas,

Love keeps slipping through the cracks.

You’re a familiar kind of wrong,

Feels like home but don’t feel strong.

A wildfire I can’t outrun,

Just meet me at the gates

Or watch me leave with the sun.

Chorus

Hold me close

Or let me go,

Love shouldn’t crack

The ground we know.

If this is home

Why do I drown?

I’m still standing

On broken ground.

Verse 2

I’m right here on the edge of gone,

Holding on but the feeling’s wrong.

You call it peace, I call it pain,

I’m losing myself trying to stay.

There’s two little hearts asleep down the hall,

They deserve more than slammed doors and arguing.

We need peace and harmony,

But I also don’t want to have a broken home.

Chorus

Hold me close

Or let me go,

Love shouldn’t crack

The ground we know.

If this is home

Why do I drown?

I’m still standing

On broken ground.

Outro

Don’t teach our kids

This is love that stays.

I’m paving the road

Before I lose my way,

Before the ground completely breaks.
