Lyrics

Broken

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.

I know you don’t wanna say goodbye yet,

but she can’t survive here with just a petal

You still have one wish but it’d be useless,

more than roses have died in this desert.

Child, it seems that younger and younger,

they start to wipe your minds clean.

But how, I wonder, just barely under, do your eyes

continue sparkling?

And i-i-i-i-i never want to open up your eyes,

everything’s broken.

and i-i-i-i-i never want to open up your heart,

everything’s broken.

I don’t understand why they are gone,

or what reason there is to be strong.

I still try to love but I’m in a place where

doing what’s right is so wrong.

But if you see me ignore the gun,

we are still fighting for life.

heeeerrrre’s our wish just to exist

in more than our eyes.

And i i i i never want to open up your eyes,

everything’s broken.

and i i i i never want to open up your heart,

everything’s broken.

Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel?

It doesn’t matter until we see broken lives heal

Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel?

It doesn’t matter until we see broken lives heal

ohhh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhhh

oh noooo, oohhhh, oh oh ohoh yeah, (yeah).

And i i i i found it hard to open up my mouth,

will they hear what’s spoken?

but i i i i saw when i opened up my eyes,

invisible children.

Broke, but not broken.

Broke, but not broken.
