I
met you at a downtown bar on a Friday in July
You smiled like summer,
asked me if I wanted company
We talked till closing trade and numbers said we'd try
And I've been trying ever since to give you all of me
You're patient with the quiet when I drift away
You hold my hand like maybe one day I'll hold back the same
But every time you lean in close I hesitate
Cause there's a ghost in every corner wearing her name
I swear I'm here,
I'm trying hard to stay
But part of me still lives in yesterday
I've only got half a heart to give you
The other half still hurts after all this time
I hate that I drag a shadow into everything we do
When you're giving me your all and I can't give you mine
You're loving a man who's only half alive
Caught in a love that never said goodbye
I've only got half a heart And I'm sorry that's all I have tonight
You cook dinner on Sunday,
leave a plate for me
Dance in the kitchen to songs we call ours now
I laugh in all the right places,
pull you close when you reach
But when the music fades I still hear it
somehow Your kisses taste like future,
like a life I could choose
But every road I start down leads me
back to a street I wanna want you fully,
God I want to
But wanting isn't enough when love runs
its deep You deserve the whole damn sky,
not pieces of the rain
But I'm still standing in the storm where she left my name
I've only got half a heart to give you The
other half still hurts after all this time
I hate that I drag a shadow into everything we do When
you're giving me your all and I can't give you mine
You're loving a man who's only half alive
Caught in a love that never said goodbye
I've only got half a heart And I'm sorry that's all I have tonight
I see it in your eyes when I call you
by mistake The wrong name in my sleep,
the distance I can't fake
You're staying for the man you about to
turn into But I'm scared he'll never come,
and I'll just keep hurting you
One day I might wake up
and finally let her go But tonight I'm still
the fool who can't forget what he knows
I've only got half a heart to give you And
half a heart's not fair to someone like you
You should walk away before I break what we built Find
someone who's yesterday's on something they rebuilt
I'm sorry I can't be the man you deserve to
find Still loving a woman who left me behind
I've only got half a heart And the rest is hers for life
Half a heart I'm sorry darling
That's all I've got
left tonight
