Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I swore the days were over
Courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the altar
Of losing everything
And the guard I held together
Is losing all its shape
And in my head you look so gorgeous
It's keeping me awake
[Verse 2]
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
'Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
[Verse 3]
I was never scared of nothing
I thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open
'Cause I carried it alone
I'm finding all this well worn sadness
I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache
Every time you take a step
[Verse 4]
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
'Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
[Verse 5]
I swore the days were over
Courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the altar
Of losing everything
And you had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I'm dodging them instead
[Verse 6]
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
'Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
