Lyrics of 'Half a Heart' by Charles Wesley Godwin

She’s just a girl born in stormy weather
Her heart a victim of the wreckage left behind
But she’s somehow managed to pull it all together
Strong enough to dig a hole and bury it inside

And the boys in her town seem to take pleasure
In mining little heart pieces to help them feel alive
And the cycle seems to turn like this forever
Leaving ripples in its wake, rolling through all time

Now she says lock the door behind when you leave the bed
I've learned the hard way it’s better to rest instead
Of worry on these things I can’t control

If there’s something that needs said
Let me climb down in this hole
Because I’ve only half a heart to break
So be gentle when you let me down

There’s no easy way to prove that I'm a keeper
Consistency lacks what a ring provides
So we’ll go on holding on like this together
Clearing any wreckage for those following behind

Now she says lock the door behind when you leave the bed
I've learn the hard way it’s better to rest instead
Of worry on these things I can’t control

If there’s something that need said
Let me climb down in this hole
'Cause I’ve only half a heart to break
So be gentle when you let me down
So be gentle when you let me down
