Lyrics of Break My Heart Sweetly by John Moreland
verse
I swore the days were over
Of courting empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar
Of losing everything
And the guard I held together
Was losing all its shape
And in my head you looked so gorgeous
It's keeping me awake
chorus
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
'Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
verse
I was never scared of nothing
Thought I had a home
Life went and broke me open
So I carried it alone
I'm finding all this well-worn sadness
I never knew I kept
And I still chase you into heartache
Every time you take a step
chorus
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
'Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
verse
I swore the days were over
Of courting empty dreams
I worshipped at the altar
Of losing everything
But you had a halo made of diamonds
Resting on your head
I should be dealing with my demons
But I'm dodgin' them instead
chorus
There's a scar on my soul
So let me down easy
Break my heart sweetly
Like you always do
I guess I can't let go
'Til you wreck me completely
Break my heart sweetly
Drape me in blue
