Lyrics

Broken

Sometimes I feel I'm broken down
And words are too much
Sometimes I think I'm coping
But I'm I know I have no such luck

If I can find language to help me
Then maybe you can still support me

Am I just broken?
Am I just broken?
You know that I'm broken
Am I just broken?
Am I just broken?
You know that I'm broken

Sometimes I think your open wounds
Will not heal without my touch
Sometimes I feel your open wounds
Are just a touch too much to bear

If I can find language I can help you
If I can find the words, I will support you

Am I still broken?
Am I still broken?
You know that I'm broken
Am I still broken?
Am I still broken?
You know that I'm broken

If I can find language to help you
Then maybe I can still support you

Am I still broken?
Am I still brokеn?
You know that I'm hoping
Am I still broken?
Am I still broken?
You know that I'm hoping

Am I still broken?
Am I still brokеn?
You know that I'm hoping
Am I still broken?
Am I still broken?
You know that I'm hoping

Sometimes I think I'm broken
And there is nothing left to bust
