John Moreland – Break My Heart Sweetly Lyrics

I swore the days were over

Of courtin empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar of losing everything
And the guard I held together
Was losing all its shape
And in my head you looked 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 nothin
Thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open
So I carried it alone
I’m findin all this well-worn sadness
I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache
Every time you take a step.
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 courtin empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar
Of losing everything
But you had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I’m dodgin’ them instead.
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
