John Moreland – Break My Heart Sweetly lyrics

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

[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 swore the days were over
Of courting empty dreams
I worshiped at the altar
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

[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
