Broken

Why can't you just believe in me?
Not everyone is the enemy
I'm trying hard I swear I am
I'm doin' the best I can
But I'm Broken
Broken
I'm wagin' war up in my head
Last time I loved it 'bout left me dead
And you're no better off 'cause you got burned too
By someone you thought you really knew
Now you're Broken
Broken
You hold a little back in case I leave
That way I can't take all of you
But that guarded part is the part I need
So I don't feel like I'm a fool
Last time that I let somebody in
It really hurt me but that was then
So here we are, just you and me
The sum of all our injuries
Don't try to push me 'cause I might break
Not sure how much of this I can take
So if you otta go, well that's alright too
Guess there's not a lot that we can do
'Cause we're Broken
Broken
You hold a little back in case I leave
That way I can't take all of you
But that guarded part is the part I need
So I don't feel like I'm a fool
Yeah, we're Broken
Baby we're Broken
