My Brittle Heart

Album: The Great Unwanted [2007]
Author: Andrew Laidlaw

When I’m with you and with you, looking like you do

It snaps my brittle heart in two, to think I ever could lose you

And Honey, Honey

When you’re not here, I get this ringing in my ears

To think you’d ever disappear, well that just cripples me my dear

And Honey, Honey

 

Through darkest night until the dawn

You are the light to which I’m drawn

Don’t give me a break

I’ve had all the breaks a heart can bear

No, no, no, don’t set me free

Just don’t, just don’t

 

I need you more than a life raft needs the shore

The waves come lapping at my door; a sadness never felt before

And Honey, Honey

Your red night sky that says, “Tomorrow will be fine”

Well, I could never read the signs. I only read between the lines

Honey, Honey

 

A million stars that hang in space

They ain’t got nothing on your face

Don’t give me a break

I’ve had all the breaks a heart can bear

No, no, no, don’t set me free

Just don’t, just don’t

 

There’s no one I could love instead

You got me hanging by a thread

You’re all I adore

And Baby, anyone with half a brain could see

 

So, don’t set me free

Just don’t, just don’t

Go setting me free

Just don’t, just don’t

Don’t set me free

Baby, ‘cause liberty is wasted on me

 

So don’t, please
