Lyrics

Unbroken

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.

Red hand print on the white of your cheek

Pack your bags quiet, while the lion sleeps

Watch your mother put her name to the line

Next to the place where your father signed

And inevitably, what we used to be will

Succumb to the pull of gravity

And you will never, no you will never see with virgin eyes again

Cos this is the day that everything changes

And your world stops turning, running straight,

Into the break lights, you've come to nothing

This is the day that everything changes and your worlds collide

You know in time you'll wake to find you're a little unbroken

Hold the answer to the light to see your future

Two line, blue line tragedy

He brings the medal to the fire for the first time, tells you it's the last time and it will be

Cos inevitably, what we used to be will

Tainted by the hands of curiosity

And you will never, no you will never see with virgin eyes again

Cos this is the day that everything changes

And the world stops turning, running straight,

Into the break lights, you've come to nothing

This is the day that everything changes and your worlds collide

You know in time you'll wake to find you're a little unbroken

So how can I explain the isolated rain that follows you?

But wouldn't you agree running always slows you down

So welcome the pain

And stop yourself from delaying it

Cos the real life will never go away

Cos this is the day that everything changes

And the world stops turning, running straight,

Into the break lights, you've come to nothing

This is the day that everything changes and your worlds collide

You know in time you'll wake to find you're a little unbroken

Oh, you're a little unbroken

Oh, a little unbroken, yeah,

You're, oh, a little unbroken
