Lyrics

Broken

[Interlude] [Verse 1] Between the searching and the need to work it out I stop believing everything will be alright Broken, we are broken [Verse 2] I'm walking uphill being turned around and round Secret in motion when my feet are on the ground Broken, we are broken [Outro] In my mind's eye One little boy anger one little man Funny how time flies
