The Crooked Numbers - Salvage Lyrics

I grabbed everything I could salvage
Pieces made in a different age
They warned you it be this way
But I think they were just afraid
Somethings were left unspoken
And somethings were left broken
I took all my hands could carry
Balcones now torn and buried
Together we ripped out the walls
And separately we went through our withdrawals
I've come out the other side of this
And I know that I'm not blameless
I took all my hands could carry
I've worked hard at leaving things behinds
That was a different person
That was a different time

You salvaged those years
When I was wrecked and young
You saw who I was then
You didn't leave me broken
You salvaged those years
After all that I had done
You saw who I was then
You didn't leave me broken

I know I'm still to blame
But I'm more patient with myself these days
So much the same
But different in so many ways
I took all my hands could carry
Remind myself the truth all along
You're better than to have half-loves
And you're better than your whole-wrongs

You salvaged those years
When I was wrecked and young
You saw who I was then
You didn't leave me broken
You salvaged those years
After all that I had done
You saw who I was then
You didn't leave me broken
