We had to let go just to pull it back in
To find the real fire beneath the skin
Now you're standing closer than you ever did
And we're unlocking secrets that we almost hid
The dust on the driveway when you drove away
I thought the gray clouds were coming to stay
But missing your touch turned the ache to a fire
And suddenly distance was building desire
Now we're standing right here by the edge of the bed
With the weight of the words that we finally said
Your breath on my shoulder is an answered plea
And the heat of your skin is washing over me
Oh, the breakup that saved us, the tear that we cried
It melted the walls that we carried inside
Now my hands are tangled in the waves of your hair
And we're finding forever in the midnight air
We had to break it, just to make it right.. Make it right..
Now we're melting together in the heat of the night.. So right..
You're tracing a line down the edge of my shirt
Erasing the memory of all of the hurt
The shadows are dancing, the moment is clear
I'm suddenly grateful for every lost tear
Now we're standing right here by the edge of the bed
With the weight of the words that we finally said
Your breath on my shoulder is an answered plea
And the heat of your skin is washing over me
Oh, the breakup that saved us, the tear that we cried
It melted the walls that we carried inside
Now my hands are tangled in the waves of your hair
And we're finding forever in the midnight air
We had to break it, just to make it right.. Make it right..
Now we're melting together in the heat of the night.. So right..
There’s a power in losing the one that you want
It strips away all of the pride and the front
I stared at the ceiling and prayed for a spark
To guide your sweet memory out of the dark
With the heart of Sayed beating wild in my chest
I pull you in closer, and put it to rest
I didn't know we had to break, just to bend.
But here we are, at the beautiful beginning of the end.
