Cracked Mosaic

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

I found a photograph in my mother's drawer

Faded at the edges from some summer before

She's laughing with a stranger on a boardwalk

They never made it past the autumn talk

I never asked her why she kept it hidden

Some things stay soft until they're forbidden

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if I'm holding what she never could

If love is just a door we keep knocking on for good

Chorus

Let it go

Let it slide away

We carry all the weight we never say

Let it go

Watch it drift on by

The heaviest are the ones we don't cry

Post-Chorus

Hmm

Hmm

Verse 2

I told my brother secrets in the parking lot

He swore to keep them locked inside the knot

Ten years later he told my own damn name

Said sorry but the truth just couldn't stay the same

I don't blame him I just learned the lesson twice

Trust is a gamble thrown on loaded dice

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if forgiveness is a muscle I can stretch

If mercy is a language I can't speak until I'm wrecked

Chorus

Let it go

Let it slide away

We carry all the weight we never say

Let it go

Watch it drift on by

The heaviest are the ones we don't cry

Post-Chorus

Hmm

Hmm

Bridge

Maybe we're all just borrowing the glow

From people who let go before they knew

Maybe the cracks are where the light comes through

And that's the only truth I've ever known

A cracked mosaic still holds the stone

Drop

Down down down we go

Feet can't find the low

Down down down we go

Let the river overflow

Chorus

Let it go

Let it slide away

We carry all the weight we never say

Let it go

Watch it drift on by

The heaviest are the ones we don't cry

Post-Chorus

Hmm

Hmm

Oh
