You sleep on my side of the bed
Phone off on the floor
You said
"I'm tired of feeling less
When I keep loving more"
There's tea gone cold on the table
Your sweater on my chair
I hear your voice in the hallway
But you're not standing there
Love of my life
You're dying of a broken heart
Fading like a photograph
Left out in the dark
If all that you needed
Was someone to hold the shards
Take every piece
Every cut
Let it bleed into my arms
Love of my life
Don't you die of a broken heart
You trace old scars with your fingers
Name every single one
Say
"These are all the promises
That never should've begun"
Your laugh's a little quieter
Your eyes stay on the ground
I talk like everything's fixable
You just don't make a sound
Love of my life
You're dying of a broken heart
Fading like a photograph
Left out in the dark
If all that you needed
Was someone to hold the shards
Take every piece
Every cut
Let it bleed into my arms
Love of my life
Don't you die of a broken heart
Take my days
Take my years
Trade my breath
For your tears
If hurt is all
You've ever known
I'll carry it
I'll call it my own (my own)
Love of my life
You're dying of a broken heart
But I'm staying right here with you
Inside every part
If all that you needed
Was someone to guard the scars
I'll be the hands
Be the light
Be the stitch
Be the scarf
Love of my life
Please don't die of a broken heart
Love of my life
Live with me and my mended heart
