Lyrics

(Soft, echoing synth intro with a warmer, more reassuring tone)

**(M)** hello?
**(M)** you called again?
**(M)** what's on your mind tonight?
**(F)** just needed to hear your voice
**(M)** you know I'm always here

**(F)** you always do this
**(M)** you thinking 'bout me?
**(M)** i'm here, yeah, always close by
**(M)** even when you push me out
**(M)** another late night drive?
**(M)** we both know where this goes

**(M)** you're playing games, I know
**(M)** I'm coming now, don't worry

(Narrative - can be M, F, or both)
lights on you when you walk into the room
when you walk into the room
you got that strength that shines right through
yeah, I know it's true
girl, I know it's true

i've been learning from your heart
thought I understood the tune
girl, I thought I knew the tune
girl, you called, you sounded weary
said you needed hope, and I’d be there, clearly

so you don't break, break, break apart
so you don't break, break, break apart
baby, don't break, break, break apart
baby, don't break, break, baby, don't break, don't break apart

girl, you love to keep me close, but not defined
you told me how you feel, the unspoken kind
and I'll keep my promise, the one we both designed
you were out there, baby, I ain't leaving you alone
girl, I never said I'm perfect, but I'll build you a home

blame your heart, strong and bold
your heart, a story told
though silence lingers in the day, but I'm still listening
fireflies when I hear your name, a steady gleam
a flicker of hope, you deserve a vibrant dream

try to hold my hand in shadows, cause you need that knowing glance
girl, you say you're lost, girl, I'll be your constant chance
friends all dancing, so you
if a fool wanna bring you down, I’ll be your remedy

**(M)** where are you?
**(M)** i'm right here
**(M)** don't ever doubt

(Narrative - can be M, F, or both)
girl, you called, you sounded weary
said you needed hope, and I’d be there, clearly

so you don't break, break, break apart
so you don't break, break, break apart
see, one day you’ll know, I’ll always be your start
baby, don't break, break, break apart
baby, don't break, break, baby, don't break, don't break apart

(Synth fades out with a final, warm, sustained chord)
