Not The Heartless Kind - Songs For Bright Street[00:00:00]
What if I stacked the cards[00:00:09]
Hid the ace next to my heart[00:00:12]
Playing out the game with a steady-handed art[00:00:14]
What if I left the closet open[00:00:18]
Skeletons and all[00:00:22]
Invited in the press[00:00:24]
Leaving you to take the fall[00:00:26]
What if I scratched below the surface[00:00:33]
Enough to open up the bricks[00:00:35]
Decades of desertion too eroded for a fix[00:00:38]
What if I did all the things[00:00:42]
I swore I'd never do[00:00:45]
Just to get me off the hook[00:00:47]
And leave the blame with you[00:00:49]
I built this house with my own hands[00:00:56]
I can tear it down crush[00:01:01]
These bricks to sand[00:01:03]
You sat there on the sofa[00:01:06]
As the roof fell from the sky[00:01:08]
I could leave you in the rubble[00:01:15]
But I'm not the Heartless Kind[00:01:20]
What if I broke all of the mirrors[00:01:26]
Just to hide my fears[00:01:29]
Used the broken glass[00:01:31]
To wipe away my tears[00:01:32]
Then I'd leave you with the furniture[00:01:35]
The photos in the frames[00:01:38]
All I'd take in my bag is this mess that I made[00:01:40]
I built this house with my own hands[00:01:47]
I can tear it down crush these bricks to sand[00:01:51]
You sat there on the sofa[00:01:56]
As the roof fell from the sky[00:01:59]
I could leave you in the rubble but[00:02:06]
I'm not the Heartless Kind[00:02:11]
So I'll prop up the destruction[00:02:30]
Tidy up before I go[00:02:33]
Put away the cards but leave an ace in the hole[00:02:35]
I will pack up all the memories[00:02:40]
The ones faded and blue[00:02:43]
Seal them in the boxes that[00:02:45]
I moved in here with you[00:02:47]
And maybe we'll unpack them[00:02:49]
Put things back in their place[00:02:52]
When broken love is mended[00:02:54]
By a whole lot of grace[00:02:56]
I built this house with my own hands[00:02:59]
I can tear it down crush these bricks to sand[00:03:03]
You sat there on the sofa[00:03:08]
As the roof fell from the sky[00:03:10]
I could leave you in the rubble[00:03:17]
But I'm not the Heartless Kind[00:03:29]
