LYRIC FOR SALE

By HUK64

[Verse 1]
I found your ring in the drawer
Under a faded ticket stub
Still warm like a secret kept
In a house that forgot your touch

Your coat still hangs by the door
One sleeve bent by the nail
I brush the thread with my thumb
And I lose my nerve again

[Pre-Chorus]
If I call your name out loud
Will the walls give you back to me?
If I tear these days apart
Will your shadow still bleed through?

[Chorus]
Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
I hold the fire and cry

Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
I’m still alive in the ash

[Verse 2]
The cup on the counter cracks
When I set it near the sink
Little white scars in the glaze
Like the shape of what we drank

I still hear your laugh in the hall
When the rain starts to hit the glass
I swear the dark knows your steps
And it keeps them at my back

[Pre-Chorus]
If I call your name out loud
Will the dark give you back to me?
If I tear these years apart
Will your ghost still burn in me?

[Chorus]
Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
I hold the fire and cry

Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
I’m still alive in the ash

[Bridge]
[Clean Guitar]
Take what’s left of my heart
It still beats your old refrain
I don’t ask for the dawn
I just want your face again

If heaven has a door
If the night has mercy left
Let me lay my hands on you
Let me lose you more than death

[Solo]
[Final Chorus]
Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
I hold the fire and cry

Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
I’m still alive in the ash

Love, you broke me open
Love, you broke me open
And I would break again
