Careful With My Heart

[Verse 1]
You showed up late
Hair all a mess
Laughing like you just passed some test
Kicked off your shoes in my hallway
Acting like you've always been this way

[Pre-Chorus]
You say
"Relax
I’m not like the rest"
But that’s the line that scares me best
I’ve heard it all
I’ve played that part
If you’re coming in
Then read the chart

[Chorus]
Careful with my heart
It’s got cracks you cannot see
If you light a spark
Don’t you dare just watch me bleed
If you touch that part
Where I keep the softest me
Careful with my heart
Careful how you hold me

[Verse 2]
You trace the scar on my left wrist
Ask me what I almost missed
I change the subject
You let it slide
Just squeeze my hand a little tight

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to trust what’s in your eyes
But I’ve been fooled by honest lies
So if you stay
Then stay for real
Sign your name on what you feel

[Chorus]
Careful with my heart
It’s got cracks you cannot see
If you light a spark
Don’t you dare just watch me bleed
If you touch that part
Where I keep the softest me
Careful with my heart
Careful how you hold me
