So your friend's been telling me You've been sleeping with my sweater And that you can't stop missing me Bet my friend's been telling you I'm not doing much better 'Cause I'm missing half of me And being here without you is like I'm waking up to Only half a blue sky, kinda there, but not quite I'm walking around with just one shoe I'm half a heart without you I'm half a man, at best, with half an arrow in my chest I miss everything we do I'm half a heart without you Forget all we said that night No, it doesn't even matter 'Cause we both got split in two If you could spare an hour or so We'll go for lunch down by the river We can really talk it through And being here without you is like I'm waking up to Only half a blue sky, well, kinda there, but not quite I'm walking around with just one shoe I'm half a heart without you I'm half a man, at best, with half an arrow in my chest 'Cause I miss everything we do I'm half a heart without you I'm half a heart without you I'm half a heart without you Though I try to get you out of my head The truth is I got lost without you And since then, I've been waking up to Only half a blue sky (only half a blue sky) Kinda there, but not quite I'm walking round with just one shoe I'm half a heart without you I'm half a man, at best (half a man, at best) With half an arrow in my chest I miss everything we do I'm half a heart without you Without you, without you Half a heart without you (without you, without you) Without you, without you I'm half a heart without you

She's just a girl born in stormy weather Her heart, a victim of the wreckage left behind But she's somehow managed to pull it all together Strong enough to dig a hole and bury it inside And the boys in her town seem to take pleasure In mining little heart pieces to help them feel alive And the cycle seems to turn like this forever Leaving ripples in its wake, rolling through all time Now she says, "Lock the door behind when you leave the bed" I've learned the hard way, it's better to rest instead Of worry on these things, I can't control If there's something that needs said, let me climb down in this hole Because I've only half a heart to break So be gentle when you let me down There's no easy way to prove that I'm a keeper Consistency lacks what a ring provides So we'll go on, holding on like this together Clearing any wreckage for those following behind Now she says, "Lock the door behind when you leave the bed" I've learned the hard way it's better to rest instead Of worry on these things, I can't control If there's something that need said, let me climb down in this hole 'Cause I've only half a heart to break So be gentle when you let me down So be gentle when you let me down

Wash my pain away Half a woman, half a shadow Daylight is breaking again I hide in the dark, I'm watching the rain You're out of touch and you're out of reach What can I say, I never wanted it this way Love sleeps all alone The cold telephone, I know the heart Yes, I know the kind, the kisses of fire turning to grey I never wanted it this way I always wanted you to stay Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Oh love always change with the trees, the spring and the leaves The waves on the sea Wilder than light the wind in your eyes led me astray I never wanted it this way I always wanted you to stay Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman, half a shadow Wash my pain away Oh, I need you Yes, I need you Oh, give me a reason to believe Oh, wash my pain, washing away Oh, half a woman (half a woman) Half a shadow Wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman (half a shadow) Half a shadow Oh, wash my pain away, oh - oh Cause I/m half a woman (half a woman) Half a shadow Oh, wash my pain away Cause I'm half a woman (half a shadow) Half a shadow From album "Look Sharp!"

Tongue-tied in this parking spot 'Cause I gotta say a whole lot That we don't own our own memories That I rewrite all her melodies All the songs that we think are so deep I remember the nights that she showed me Don't know what to say, so I let 'em replay (only half my heart) But when you ask where I heard that song Or where I got that old sweatshirt from I really hate that it brings me back And that I ever put you through that, so I don't wanna be the name of your playlist Sorry it took two months for me to say this (to say this) I don't wanna leave you broke and hurtin' But you're not her, so you're not perfect (you're not perfect) You deserve the world and that endless love But I'm not the one you can get that from (from) So don't you fall too hard For only half my heart Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na-na (only half my heart) Love won't leave in a hearse Struggle and fight 'til we find what works Didn't mean to leave so soon But she's what I see atop the moon, oh But when you ask where I heard that song Or where I got that old sweatshirt from I really hate that it brings me back And that I ever put you through that, so I don't wanna be the name of your playlist Sorry it took two months for me to say this (to say this) I don't wanna leave you broke and hurtin' But you're not her, so you're not perfect (you're not perfect) You deserve the world and that endless love But I'm not the one you can get that from (from) So don't you fall too hard For only half my heart Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na Na-na-na, na-na-na-na (only half my heart) We cry 'cause it's hard, but it eats me alive That I clawed through your chest and I stole what's inside But that'll never belong to me (na-na-na, na-na-na-na) It's hard to return to the home that I burned But I promise that next time your heart will be earned Someone will set you free I don't wanna be the name of your playlist Sorry it took two months for me to say this (to say this) I don't wanna leave you broke and hurtin' But you're not her, so you're not perfect (you're not perfect) You deserve the world and that endless love (na-na-na, na-na-na) But I'm not the one you can get that from (na-na-na, na-na-na; from) So don't you fall too hard (na-na-na, na-na-na) For only half my heart (na-na-na, na-na-na) But when you ask where I heard that song Or where I got that old sweatshirt from (yeah) I really hate that it brings me back And that I ever put you through that (you're not perfect) You deserve the world and that endless love But I'm not the one you can get that from (na-na-na, na-na-na) So don't you fall too hard (na-na-na, na-na-na) For only half my heart (na-na-na, na-na-na)
