There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love

You're still written in the scars on my heart

No nothing is as bad as it seems
We__________(to come) clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, oh, that we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
