lyrics

If you need to fall apart, then fall apart
you're brothers and your sisters have all left
we're not in some hotel
or stealing wishes from the well
so let go for a moment and just fall apart

You told me once when I was barely breathing
to not forget the nature of my dreams
I took your words to heart
I took it just a bit too far
and wished upon a star and watched it fall apart

If you need to take a break from having answers
a grown woman with questions blooming in your heart
take a drive alone
the kids will get the phone
and I'll fend off the world while you fall apart

I've watched you keep it together
through my departures and my mad returns
I was forlorn
I cried and clutched you in the morn
I thought I was leaving you to fall apart

Do you know who's looking back from your reflection
sister, daughter, darling of a king
gaze into that face
imagine your own space
the spinning metal ring can help you fall apart

The past feels like a senseless road to nowhere
the present is an hourglass unturned
the future isn't written yet
your heart, the paper and love, the pen
we'll write the verse together as we fall apart

If you need to be a little lost, so be it
I'll send a siren out among the deep
listen for my voice
the rocks and reef may steal your choice
but I'll be holding steady while you fall apart

I've watched you keep it together
through my departures and my mad returns
I was forlorn
I cried and clutched you in the morn
I thought I was leaving you to fall apart
