Quarters

(album: Embrace - 2014)

Hey you
You took all we had and you broke it in two
Now our love lies in quarters
It was halves when I met you
I knew
You papered the cracks just so I would fall through
When I ticked all your boxes
All your triggers got pulled too

I'd never known another could have suffered like this
I'd never known another could have suffered like this
I'd never known another could have suffered like this
In fragments and fractions I fell
The quarters don't go back as well
It adds up, it adds up

Bruised
Love will subtract if you let it near you
You were born under punches
I was armed when I met you
We're through
Oh, we had it all but I know you're hurt too
Line up all your impostors
Kill the dream that I cling to

And I feel myself surrender
I'm your defender, I'm your defender
And I feel myself surrender
I'm your defender, I'm your defender

I'd never known another could have suffered like this
In fragments and fractions I fell
The quarters don't go back as well
It adds up, it adds up
I'd never known another could have suffered like this
In fragments and fractions I fell
The quarters don't go back as well
It adds up, it adds up

Hey you
Now our love lies in quarters

And I feel myself surrender
I'm your defender, I'm your defender
And I feel myself surrender
I'm your defender

In fragments and fractions I fell
The quarters don't go back as well
It adds up, it adds up
