You kept your secrets in a cardboard heart
Folded the corners so it wouldn’t fall apart
I tried to read you like a warning sign
But every word blurred out in time
You said you’re fine, I heard the tremble
Every “it’s nothing” sounded heavy
Sitting on the floor by the bedroom light
Tracing every crack like a fault line
You’ve got petals in your eyes
Falling every time you blink that smile
You keep oceans in a box
Locked up in the dark behind your calm
If you break, then break on me tonight
Let it pour, I’ll hold the sky
You’ve got petals in your eyes
But I still see the garden in your mind (oh)
All of your letters in a shoe-box bed
Names crossed out, folded like regrets
You say, “I’m used to everybody leaving first”
I say, “I’m staying, even when it hurts”
You’ve got petals in your eyes
Falling every time you blink that smile
You keep oceans in a box
Locked up in the dark behind your calm
If you break, then break on me tonight
Let it pour, I’ll hold the sky
You’ve got petals in your eyes
And I’m not letting any color die
Tear the tape off slowly
Let the seams all show
Every torn-up story
I already know
If this fragile kingdom
Crashes from the heights
I will stand beneath it
Catch the shattered light (oh)
You’ve got petals in your eyes
Falling every time you blink that smile
You’ve got petals in your eyes
And I’ll be there when all those colors rise
