Broken Strings Lyrics

You asked me to meet you the other day

My heart walked me right to where I shouldn't be

You said it was nothing just that we should talk

I've been here before but I still showed up

I asked you how many times had we missed our chance

Like dark passing ships

You said that it's not worth trying again

Cause when the other shoe drops

It's right on top of me

You leaned in for one last kiss

My tears fell as I turned my cheek

I dropped your hand and walked the one way

I'd never gone before

The road that leaves you

Cause loving you is like playing broken strings

I walked past that old boat shed

The one where you kissed me that first time

I know this is more than losing a friend

But I'm telling you that's what it feels like

And I don't know what life looks like without

My best friend holding my hand

And I still don't know why its all or nothing

But that goodbye changed everything

You leaned in for one last kiss

My tears fell as I turned my cheek

I dropped your hand and walked the one way

I'd never gone before

The road that leaves you

Cause loving you is like playing broken strings

You said that loving and losing almost killed you

Well if I had to die that would be the way

And I wanna to go to heaven

But maybe not today

So I've gotta leave now

Cause it seems that the only way

You leaned in for one last kiss

My tears fell as I turned my cheek

I dropped your hand and walked the one way

I'd never gone before

The road that leaves you

Cause loving you is like playing broken strings

Broken strings

You leaned in for one last kiss
