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.
If you want control
Without any pain
How long will you suffer?
How long will you reign
You see the friend that I knew?
Cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
And you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
Our time without tears?
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you were a child
You'd dream all day long
You'd dream of the future
Get lost in your songs
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start
