The Broken Ones

[Verse 1]

I said it out loud 23 times

I'm not gonna make the same mistakes

I promised the river

Held my child and whispered in her hair

Life is not a poem, it's a war

[Chorus]

And I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore

Anymore

[Verse 2]

I pay a stranger every two weeks

To repackage my thoughts for me

But now there's a razor between your lips

That kiss will make my heart unzip

And I want it like I need it

[Chorus]

But I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore

I'm not gonna fall for the ones like me

With darkness in their belliеs

I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones

No, I'll bе smarter from now on

So much smarter from now on, oh

[Post-Chorus]

(Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh)

[Bridge]

Two people trying to save each other

Only pulls them both further under

Don't waste your strength waving at me

I'm a life jacket made of concrete

Got darkness I've been trying to run from

Only thing keeping me sane are these songs

I don't want to touch the open skies

I just need a safe place to hide

[Chorus]

Cause I don't wanna fall for the broken ones

The luminescent wild ones

The dancing on electric wire ones

Tumbling through the sky ones

Chasing the essential fire ones

The haunted agonised ones

The tortured juggling knives ones

Beautiful crazy-eyed ones

Death tugging at their mind ones

No, I'll be smarter from now on

So much smarter from now on

[Outro]

Only problem that I got now is

Who's gonna fall for this broken one
