Repair Don't Replace

from This Album Is About Heartbreak by Matt Walden

/

lyrics

Like a bone that needed to be reset
Gotta break it to fix it instead
Who knew that the way we healed
Was unhealthy?

Like rose colored glasses and thorns
My view of us tainted by “love”?
You’re under my skin
I need you to get out

I changed who I am
Just to fit what you wanted
Almost gave up my dreams
Oh our house is too haunted

Repair don’t replace
Oh is all I could say
& my hearts like the bones
Resetting the stones of our mile

Repair don’t replace
I wish I didn’t say it
I understand now you were
Sitting on this for a while

Are you happy now that he’s in your life?
Does he give you everything that you like?
I wish this was a dream, I just want to wake up

I hate how I changed who I am
Just to fit what you wanted
I saw you in my dreams
All my songs are too haunted now

Repair don’t replace
Oh is all I could say
My hearts like the bones
Resetting the stones of our mile

Repair don’t replace
I wish I didn’t say
I understand now you were
Sitting on this for a while

Oh just let me go
Don’t string me along
I’m committed to us
I can’t stop writing songs

I’ll brace for the break
Though it hurt all along
I never stopped trying
But you just moved along

& I need time to heal
But I’m scared to be alone
My thoughts are too loud
Could you just call my phone?

Why am I the only one
Who wants to fix what we have?
Repair don’t replace
Oh this world moves too fast for me

Repair don’t replace
Is all I could say
My heart's like the bones
Resetting the stones of our mile

Repair don’t replace
I wish I didn’t say it
I understand now
You were sitting on this for a while

I understand now
That you gave up on us and our mile

I understand now
It’s just gonna be me for a while
