EVEN IF YOU BREAK MY HEART
Edge to your voice like steel
You say you want something real, well, it’s all around you
It’s all around you my love
Fingers dance across the strings
Searching for answers buried within your father’s old guitar
It’s all around you my love
There’s nothing more that I can do
It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what you don’t
I will always love you
Together just feels so hard
But there’s no amount of time or space apart
Because even if you break my heart
I will always love you
All the ugly things we’ve seen
Love isn’t always clean, no
It tests you, it breaks you, it beats you down
It leaves you in the gutter with your fears and your sounds
Passion and history bind us like chains
Sweet memories of the Harbour Bridge shimmering in the rain
I might feel everything, and you might feel nothing at all
Do you remember when we lost the joy of it all?
There’s nothing more that I can do
It doesn’t matter what I say
It doesn’t matter what you don’t
I will always love you
Together just feels so hard
But there’s no amount of time or space apart Because even if you break my heart
I will always love you
If I’m the mirror in which you see
This shattered image of yourself
Is it you or me that’s broken?
Together feels so damn hard
But there’s no amount of time or space apart
Because even if you break my heart
I will always love you (x3)
TEARS WE'VE BEEN HOLDING BACK
Well now my friend there's so much I've left to say
Before I start searching for your face in yesterday
Creatures of hope though we may be
We're bound by fate, so cruel is she
That we stand here at the airport in wistful agony
Somedays we laugh, somedays we cry
Somedays we're broken, somedays we're fine
But through it all you cared for me, and I for you
You bore my soul in all its peculiar shapes
You stared down all of the ugliness in me
Sometimes I truly loathed myself because you were so good
Two wretched fools in a raging riptide
We never fought it or understood
Some days we laugh, somedays we cry
Some days we're broken, somedays we're fine
But through it all you cared for me
Some days we love, somedays we're just speaking fire
Some days we love, somedays we just wanna die
Here comes the moment where we must say goodbye
The tears that we've been holding back come rolling in
As you let me go and board that place
A smile finds my face again, cos goddamn what a time it's been, and what a time it's going to be
Some days we laugh, somedays we cry
Some days we're broken, somedays we're fine
Somedays we love, somedays we just wanna hurt
Somedays we're broken, somedays we shine
