Lyrics

Quarters

[Verse 1]

Hey you

You took all we had and you broke it in two

Now our love lies in quarters

It was halves when I met you

I knew

You papered the cracks just so I would fall through

When I ticked all your boxes

All your triggers got pulled too

[Chorus]

I'd never known another could have suffered like this

In fragments and fractions I fell

The quarters don't go back as well

It adds up, it adds up

[Verse 2]

Bruised

Love will subtract if you let it near you

You were born under punches

I was armed when I met you

We're through

Oh, we had it all but I know you're hurt too

Line up all your impostors

Kill the dream that I cling to

[Bridge]

And I feel myself surrender

I'm your defender, I'm your defender

And I feel myself surrender

I'm your defender, I'm your defender

[Chorus]

I'd never known another could have suffered like this

In fragments and fractions I fell

The quarters don't go back as well

It adds up, it adds up

I'd never known another could have suffered like this

In fragments and fractions I fell

The quarters don't go back as well

It adds up, it adds up

[Verse 3]

Hey you

Now our love lies in quarters

[Bridge]

And I feel myself surrender

I'm your defender, I'm your defender

And I feel myself surrender

I'm your defender

[Chorus]

In fragments and fractions I fell

The quarters don't go back as well

It adds up, it adds up
