Lyrics

Barton

Same as ever, it begins

Heard a knock and let it in

This is just the medicine

To swallow

I'll be on my own awhile

Smiling like a crocodile

You can see for miles and miles

It follows

Follows

Follows

Broken as it

Broken as it is, this is a love

Broken as it

Broken as it is, this is a love

I don't remember where I was

Heavy is as heavy does

Weighed me down because

It's hollow

Hollow

Hollow

Broken as it

Broken as it is, this is a love

Broken as it

Broken as it is, this is a love
