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.
Lying awake inside my own dreams
Left stranded in mid-July
Waiting to hear your words
Still hanging on that line
I've lost count of the years
I've lost sight of what I'm doing here
Waiting to hear your words
Still hanging on that line
It's like I spend my whole life waiting for nothing
Waiting for my heart to burst
When our Spring began
You made the cherry blossoms shine
And hope hung heavy in the morning sun
Then our summer arrived
And you left without giving a sign
You made the leaves change too soon
But it would take too much to hate you
Because I'm still in love
Just tied to your heart strings
Hanging on every word
Hide my face
Throw what's left of me to the wind
Take me down to the harbour
And cast me off to sea
Because I'm still in love
Just tied to your heart strings
Pulling tighter every single day
Because I'm still in love
Just tied to your heart strings
Hanging on every single word you say
How will there be a tomorrow, when you make me feel there was no today?
So just take me down to the old harbour
I'll take my heart with me
And cast me off into the open water
And when we all drift out to sea
I hope it all sinks to the bottom
Along with everything that you've given me
