Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee stains on your scrubs Half a smile, half asleep You say, “Don’t worry ’bout me” As you roll up your sleeves You hold a stranger’s shaking hand Like they’re your own mama’s child You walk families through the fire Wearing that tired angel smile [Chorus] You save the whole damn world by nine Then break down in my arms at night You hold their hands, you hide your scars ’Til the last car leaves the parking lot When the brave girl’s done being strong You can fall apart, I’ll hold on You fix their hearts when theirs won’t start Then you break down You break down in my arms [Verse 2] You scrub the blood from your watch Like you’re washing off the day You laugh it off at the table Say, “It’s fine, I’m okay” (mm) But I see your fingers tremble When you hang up your white coat You curl up quiet on my chest Till the lump leaves your throat [Chorus] You save the whole damn world by nine Then break down in my arms at night You hold their hands, you hide your scars ’Til the last car leaves the parking lot When the brave girl’s done being strong You can fall apart, I’ll hold on You fix their hearts when theirs won’t start Then you break down You break down in my arms [Bridge] Let ’em call you hero Let ’em say you never shake I’ll be right here in the shadows Where it’s safe for you to break (yeah) [Chorus] You save the whole damn world by nine Then break down in my arms at night You hold their hands, you hide your scars ’Til the last car leaves the parking lot When the brave girl’s done being strong You can fall apart, I’ll hold on You fix their hearts when theirs won’t start Then you break down You break down in my arms
