There are broken things
In my house
Some are twisted
Some are cracked
Some been bended
Till they snapped
There are broken
Things in here
Things in pieces
Things in knots
Things that crumble
In tiny parts
I am fixing broken things
I am fixing broken things
Everyone could use some help
Will you help me fix myself?
I am fixing broken things
Things are mended
Things are glued
I have done
Best I can do
I am fixing broken things
Everyone could use some help
Will you help me fix myself?
See how easy - things can break?
If it's crooked,
Make it straight
Do you love me?
I can't tell
Pick up pieces
& make me well
In this house of broken things
Everyone could use some help
Will you help me fix myself?
I am fixing broken things
Everybody celebrate
Now I got my business straight
