You Broke My Heart So Gently - Sam Tompkins

Boo, I need you around

The pressure's getting way too heavy now

And you should know that I’m not ready, no

Not good at being alone

I know you know that I am empty now

Getting to sleep so very rarely now

We on different paths, I've known that for some time

Girl this shit's so sad and it’s like every night

This home just ain't a home

I know you broke my heart so gently

How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

[Verse 1]

I could be chillin' with a girl who inspires inner brilliance

Now she's off on her own in the distance

I can't hit her on the phone for assistance

Though I've been wishing this could be different

I ain't got time to be ignant

But I can't cut you off like Vincent

So I try my best to keep distant

Fight off the system that makes me the victim, (Uh)

It’s like a fall of a kingdom

Held it up but it’s now just a prison

I can't leave my house without missing

All of our visions, this is a sickness

Or am I just a witness?

Or could I put an end to this business?

Tie my shoes and walk out of this stillness

Ain’t got the fitness, no

[Pre Chorus]

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now

This been at my neck now, I've been feeling low

Hate the way it's gone, my life’s such a mess now

Can't deal with the stress now, I've been feeling

[Chorus]

Boo, I need you around

The pressure's getting way too heavy now

And you should know that I'm not ready, no

Not good at being alone

I know you know that I am empty now

Getting to sleep so very rarely now

We on different paths, I've known that for some time

Girl this shit's so sad and it's like every night

This home just ain't a home

I know you broke my heart so gently

How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?

[Verse 2]

Bottling up all of my own soul, getting over it, I don't know

Imma be straight, this ain't been great

It feels like I'm dying but it's so slow

Waking me up with that "Morning boo"

Thinkin' 'bout that and I feel so blue

Maybe I'll wait and it will be fate

Or am I just sitting in my own tomb?

This ain't my life and it's not right

I'm thinkin' 'bout you all of my night

I wanna catch flights but I don't like

The fear to fall or what that ignites

You were my type, not one of my stripes

I think of you and I get good vibes

At least before you went of out of sight, yeah

[Pre Chorus]

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now

This been at my neck now, I've been feeling low

Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now

Can't deal with the stress now, I've been feeling low

I don't need a lot, I just want the best now

This been at my neck now, I've been feeling low

Hate the way it's gone, my life's such a mess now

Can't deal with the stress now, I've been feeling

[Chorus]

Boo, I need you around

The pressure's getting way too heavy now

And you should know that I'm not ready, no

Not good at being alone

I know you know that I am empty now

Getting to sleep so very rarely now

We on different paths, I've known that for some time

Girl this shit's so sad and it's like every night

This home just ain't a home

I know you broke my heart so gently

How does missing you just feel unhealthy now?
