If it breaks, we mend

The day you walked away
You took the quiet I had made
My world kept spinning fast
Couldn't tell the night from day
My mind was chasing signs
Trying hard to understand
Was it me, was it you
Or just life out of hand

'Cause peace was never gone
It was just holding onto you
So I slowed my heart down
Tried to see the truth

Love ain't perfect, no
It's just real
It breaks, it bends
But it knows how to heal
If it cracks, we don't run
We learn how to stay
If it breaks, we mend
That's how love is made

When you love, you find the seams
Little doubts inside the dream
You start thinking maybe love
Isn't quite what it should be
But perfection never grew
From a heart that never fell
It's the glue in what we break
That teaches us to build it well

Every road I tried to take
Led me back to something true
Every time I chased my best
It looked a lot like you

Love ain't perfect, no
It's just real
It breaks, it bends
But it knows how to heal
If it cracks, we don't run
We learn how to stay
If it breaks, we mend
That's how love is made

All those plans we used to say
Late at night, half afraid
They don't die, they just wait
For the right kind of faith
If you ever think of coming back
Don't fear the scars we carry in
Sometimes love comes back stronger
When the glue is holding it in

Love ain't perfect, no
It's just real
It breaks, it bends
But it knows how to heal
If it cracks, we don't run
We learn how to stay
If it breaks, we mend
That's how love is made

Love ain't perfect, no
It's just real
It breaks, it bends
But it knows how to heal
If it cracks, we don't run
We learn how to stay
If it breaks, we mend
That's how love is made

I'll be here, take your time
Heaven knows the perfect when
What's meant to be
Gets the chance
To break, and mend again
Oh
And mend again
