John Moreland - Break My Heart Sweetly

In the Throes ____________________________________________________ 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 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 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
