Broken Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes the road is crystal
And sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind
Tell me what it is what you think you're missing
And I will see what I can find
You want to be so sure of
Every step you take
You can't always know what's coming
You can't always trust the twist of fate
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Stars shine down from the black
And we're picking though this broken glass
Well how could we know that our lives
Would be so full of beautifully broken things
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
War is the most vulgar madness
And winters can be so cruel
You can't always change the way things are
Like I can't change the way I think of you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
Oh my, love my, love my love
Oh my love my heart is set on you, set on you
