[Verse 1] When I met you I let my guard fall Hands were shaking Heart against the wall You traced that smile Back onto my face Less and less I wore that frown In your arms A safer place [Pre-Chorus] I was a broken shell Just pieces on the floor Had forgotten how to smile Did not know me anymore You took those trembling hands Said “Baby Breathe it in” Now here we are just [Chorus] Gasping at straws again Holding on tight to the thread we’re in You are my confidante My lover and my very best friend Gasping at straws again But I would rather reach than never mend If this is fragile love I will choose you Choose you again [Verse 2] Tears in my eyes Used to be my home Rain on the pillow Crying all alone You turned the light on In that quiet room Showed me how to laugh out loud How to make my own truth [Pre-Chorus] I was a faded frame Colors almost gone Did not know that I could shine Or be this strong You pulled me from the dark Taught my heart to bend Now here we are still [Chorus] Gasping at straws again Holding on tight to the thread we’re in You are my confidante My lover and my very best friend Gasping at straws again But I would rather reach than never mend If this is fragile love I will choose you Choose you again [Bridge] Every little fracture You learned by name (by name) Kissed every scar Till it felt like grace (like grace) If all we have Is this breath This chance I will spend it in your hands (in your hands, oh) [Chorus] Gasping at straws again Holding on tight to the thread we’re in You are my confidante My lover and my very best friend Gasping at straws again But I would rather reach than never mend If this is fragile love I will choose you Choose you again (yeah, I choose you, choose you again)
