Battle Studies/Battle Wounds




I was born in the arms of imaginary friends

free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been

then you come crashing in, like the realest thing

trying my best to understand all that your love can bring


oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation

half of my heart takes time

half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)

oh, with half of my heart


I was made to believe i'd never love somebody else

I made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself

lonely was the song I sang, 'til the day you came

Showing me another way and all that my love can bring


oh half of my heart's got a grip on the situation

half of my heart takes time

half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

that I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)

oh, with half of my heart

with half of my heart


your faith is strong

but I can only fall short for so long

Down the road, later on

you will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart

but I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you [x3]

but I can't stop loving you with half of my...


half of my heart

half of my heart


half of my heart's got a real good imagination

half of my heart's got you

half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

that half of my heart won't do


half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring

And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything


half of my heart [x6]







Just when I had you off my head
Your voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bed
You say you wanna try again
But I've tried everything but giving in

Why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try

When all we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye

I bought a ticket on a plane
And by the time it landed you had gone again

I love you more than songs can say
But i can't keep running after yesterday

Why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try

When all we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye

We say goodbye
We say goodbye
We say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye
All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye
[to fade..]
