Split Heart

[Verse 1]
You left your laugh in Lisbon rain
Your Sunday coat on a Tokyo train
A chipped blue cup in my kitchen sink
And half your letters I still can’t bring

I keep one hand on the map you drew
With coffee rings and a crooked Peru
Each little mark says where we’ve been
Each empty mile lets the pieces in

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought a heart was one locked room
One front door and one way through
Now every border pulls a thread
From all the places we called home instead

[Chorus]
My heart is split in pieces around the world
One part where the harbor ropes are curled
One part beneath that red Madrid sun
One part still asking where you’ve gone
And if I cross those miles, will I find
The little parts I left behind?
My heart is split in pieces around the world
Still beating wherever you are

[Verse 2]
There’s your green scarf in a Montreal drawer
A ticket stub by the kitchen door
A borrowed book with your note inside
That says, “Take the long way, enjoy the ride”

I pass the bakery near the old square
The woman there still thinks you’re somewhere
I nod like I know what she means by “soon”
Then ride home under a paper moon

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought goodbye could close a gate
And leave the rest to time and fate
But every town keeps one small thing
A key, a joke, the way you’d sing

[Chorus]
My heart is split in pieces around the world
One part where the harbor ropes are curled
One part beneath that red Madrid sun
One part still asking where you’ve gone
And if I cross those miles, will I find
The little parts I left behind?
My heart is split in pieces around the world
Still beating wherever you are

[Bridge]
Maybe the map was never meant
To show the way we’d come undone
Maybe each piece became a room
With its own weather, its own sun

I can’t collect the days we lost
Or fold the distance small
But when I hear your name in passing
I still feel every wall fall

[Final Chorus]
My heart is split in pieces around the world
One part where the harbor ropes are curled
One part beneath that red Madrid sun
One part still asking where you’ve gone
And even if I never find
The little parts I left behind
My heart is split in pieces around the world
Still beating wherever you are

[Outro]
Lisbon rain, Tokyo train
Your green scarf, your crooked name
A thousand miles, a thousand starts
You left your laugh in all my parts
