The Broken Ones

I know they've hurt you bad
Wide, the scars you have
Baby, let me straighten out your broken bones
All your faults to me make you more beautiful

I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
All the ones who've
Never been loved
Never been loved
Never been loved

And oh, maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece always trying to fit in
The shattered heart
Hungry for a home
No, you're not alone
I love the broken ones

You don't have to drive
With your headlights off
It's a pocketknife
Not a gift from God
Don't you learn of love from the love they kept
I will be your anchor slowly
Step by step

I can't help it
I love the broken ones
And the ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who've
Never been loved
Never been loved
Never been loved

And oh, maybe I see a part of me in them
And the missing piece always trying to fit in
The shattered heart
Hungry for a home
No, you're not alone
I love the broken ones (I love the broken ones)

Maybe we can rip off the bandage
Maybe you will see it for what it is
Maybe we can burn this building
Holding you in

I can't help it
I love the broken ones
Just the ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who've
Never been loved
Never been loved
Never been loved (be loved)

And oh, maybe I see a part of me in them
And the missing piece always trying to fit in
The shattered heart
Hungry for a home
No, you're not alone
I love the broken ones
I love the broken ones

I love the broken ones
I love the broken ones
