One Direction – Half A Heart

[Verse]

So your friends been telling me

you've been sleeping with my sweater,

and that you can't stop missing me

But my friends been telling you

I'm not doing much better

'cause I'm missing half of me

[ Pre-Chorus]

And being here without you

is like I'm waking up to

[Chorus]

Only half a blue sky

kinda there but not quite

I'm walking round with just one shoe

I'm half a heart without you



I'm half a man, at best

with half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do

I'm half a heart without you

[Verse]

Forget all we said that night

no it doesn't even matter,

'cause we both got split in two

If you could spare an hour or so

we'll go for lunch down by the river

we can really talk it through

[Pre-Chorus]

And being here without you

is like I'm waking up to

[Chorus]

Only half a blue sky

kinda there but not quite

walking round with just one shoe

I'm half a heart without you



I'm half a man, at best

with half an arrow in my chest

'cause I miss everything we do

I'm half a heart without you



half a heart without you

I'm half a heart without you



[Bridge]

though I try to get you out of my head

the truth is I got lost without you

and since then, I've been waking up to

[Chorus]

Only half a blue sky

(only half a blue sky)

kinda there but not quite

I'm walking round with just one shoe

I'm half a heart without you



I'm half a man, at best

(half a man at best)

with half an arrow in my chest

I miss everything we do

I'm half a heart without you



without you, without you

half a heart without you

without you, without you

half a heart without you
