You left your mark on my coat
Red thread stuck in the seam
I keep the ticket stub in my wallet
Like a map to what we were
Your name still rings on the mirror
Even after I scrub and scrub
Half my heart says let you go
Half my hands won’t give you up
I tried to fold it flat
Tried to make it clean
But every time I pull
It tears right through me
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
I wear the break like proof
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
Still hooked on loving you
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
Shredded, but it’s true
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
What else am I supposed to do?
There’s a hole in the sleeve of my jacket
From the night you slammed the door
I patch it up with your old excuses
Still ends up on the floor
I said I’d bury the feeling
Deep in the back of my chest
But the more I try to kill it
The louder it gets
I tried to fold it flat
Tried to make it clean
But every time I pull
It tears right through me
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
I wear the break like proof
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
Still hooked on loving you
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
Shredded, but it’s true
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
What else am I supposed to do?
If love’s a chain, I’m dragging it
If love’s a fire, I’m burning in it
I tried to cut the cord
But I kept every splinter
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
I wear the break like proof
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
Still hooked on loving you
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
Shredded, but it’s true
Ripped devotion, ripped devotion
I keep coming back to you
