Gravity

Album: Better Broken (2025)

  • Yours is an island of wild weeds and lush, tangled ground
    Unbridled energy, all possibility
    You pull yourself up on two feet that have not stood alone
    Slowly and gingerly
    Reaching with toes

    It's hard, the way you look at me
    With a rage I cannot place
    But I'm not the enemy
    I'll carry you through your pain

    You can hide away, hold your heart at bay
    I know you wanna be loved
    Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart
    I will be like gravity, always true
    I won't give up on you

    For every two steps that go forward, there's one that crawls back
    These are the highs and lows
    Those who have been here know
    But that doesn't stop us from marching back into the mire
    Insult to injury and we breathe fire

    It's hard, the way you look at me
    With a rage I cannot place
    But I'm not the enemy
    I'll carry you through your pain
    You can hide away, hold your heart at bay
    I know you wanna be loved
    Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart
    I will be like gravity, always true
    I won't give up

    Our love's not a race, only one of us wins
    I pushed you so hard not to quit or give in
    I look back now, past the anger and fear
    You were suffering and you were all alone in it

    So you can hide away, hold your heart at bay
    I know you wanna be loved
    Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart
    I will be like gravity, always true
    I won't give up on you
    I'll never give up on you Writer/s: Sarah Ann McLachlan, Thomas Luke Doucet
