Lyrics

How I Broke My Legs

This is how I broke both of my legs

Won't run to you

Won't run to you

I will not follow

Won't sing to you

Won't dance with you

I will not lead

This is how I broke both of my legs

Jumping from high above your ledge

I won't run to you

Won't dance with you

I will not follow

I won't run to you

Won't sing for you

I will not fold

Won't sing for you

Won't dance with you

I will not fold
