Broken Halos

[Verse 1]

You said you'd be right back

Coat on the chair

Keys by the door

Mug on the table

Steam fading like you

A little more

[Pre-Chorus]

How do I hold what I can't touch?

Your laugh still lives in every room

I reach for you and hit the air

And call it living through the gloom

[Chorus]

So I pray for broken halos

All the hearts that fell too far

Every scar and shattered promise

Every wish we threw at stars

If you can hear me in the shadows

If you're still somewhere in this dark

I pray for broken halos

To bend but not break my heart

[Verse 2]

Your sweater's on my skin

Smells like rain and Sunday drives

I keep the porch light

Talking to the quiet

Keeping you alive

I hold it like a fragile glass

Afraid to speak

Afraid to hope

[Chorus]

So I pray for broken halos

All the hearts that fell too far

Every scar and shattered promise

Every wish we threw at stars

If you can hear me in the shadows

If you're still somewhere in this dark

I pray for broken halos

To bend but not break my heart

[Bridge]

If love is only measured

By all the letting go

Then take this heavy treasure

Teach my hands to open slow (oh)

If every tear is testimony

Of how deep a soul can feel

Then let them fall like little oceans

Till they learn how to heal

[Chorus]

So I pray for broken halos

All the hearts that fell too far

Every scar and shattered promise

Every wish we threw at stars

If you can hear me in the shadows

If you're still somewhere in this dark

I pray for broken halos

To bend but not break my heart

(I pray for broken halos)

To bend but not break my heart
