Baby, I’m holding on to every broken piece of us.

Oh… I know my silence burned you like winter wind, girl.

I can’t stand the thought of you slipping through my hands, oh baby.

Never, never… never losin’ you.

You were always angry, flames behind your eyes,

Maybe you thought my heart was frozen, my love a lie.

I know I’m the one who failed to show it right,

My clumsy words like rain that falls without a light.

Oh… the nights I watched you turn away, girl,

I practiced love in quiet rooms, afraid to say the words.

Baby, I’m holding on to every broken piece of us.

Oh… I know my silence burned you like winter wind, girl.

I can’t stand the thought of you slipping through my hands, oh baby.

Never, never… never losin’ you.

A little falcon was perched on a bare branch,

Small but fierce — it stares at me with something bold.

Its eyes cut through my doubt and give me strength to try,

To meet you, to unlearn the ways I let us die.

Oh… forgive me, baby, for every time I made you cry.

Baby, I’m holding on to every broken piece of us.

Oh… I know my silence burned you like winter wind, girl.

I can’t stand the thought of you slipping through my hands, oh baby.

Never, never… never losin’ you.

Girl, forgive the maps I burned that led me away,

Forgive the nights I turned your sunshine into gray.

The falcon’s eyes remember how to find the sun,

So I’ll learn to find you, learn to be the only one.

Oh… don’t ask me to change the man I’ve been — just see my heart, baby.

That little falcon lifts and so will I, girl, for you,

Straight-eyed, small and brave — I swear I’ll see it through.

Oh… I’m sorry, baby, for every time I made you doubt,

But in the quiet of my chest, my love screams loud.

Never, never… never losin’ you.
