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
Em G C G
And in my head you look so gorgeous, it’s keeping me awake
[Chorus]
Em F# G C G
There’s a scar on my soul, so let me down easy

I guess I can’t let go til you wreck me completely

Break my heart sweetly, drape me in blue

I was never scared of nothing, I thought I had a home
Em F# G C G

And I still chase you into heartache every time you take a step

I should be dealing with my demons, but I’m dodging them instead

I swore the days were over
Of courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the altar
Of losing everything
And the guard I held together
Is losing all its shape
In my head you look so gorgeous
It's keeping me awake
[Chorus:]
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
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
You might also like

Of courting empty dreams

Of losing everything
You had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I'm dodging them instead
