"Thank You" lyrics

Maybe I would make different decisions
If I could do it all over again
'Cause lately I've been waking up with visions
Of you looking at me across the bed
Your eyes are filled with something quite familiar
Reflections of a life I think I dreamt
You've always liked yourself better in mirrors
And I'm always a coward in the end
I'm always a coward in the end

But thank you for the broken heart
The perfect world you took and tore apart
Thank you for giving me up
I'm half the girl I was but half's enough
'Cause I'll build cities out of this damn broken heart
Heart

What is it in me that keeps returning?
Counting every scar like scraps of gold
I pretend that I no longer feel the burning
But you've still got a splinter of my soul
Oh you've still got a splinter of my soul

Oh thank you for the broken heart
The perfect world you took and tore apart
Thank you for giving me up
I'm half the girl I was but half's enough
'Cause I'll build cities out of this damn broken heart
Heart, I'll build cities out of this damn broken heart

I'll build a city out of pain, and my tears will water it like rain
