Lyrics

Something’s Broken








Came here from a quiet place
That left me in a fragile state
Could you make the sky look clear
Make me feel like home is here

'Cause something's broken
But here's me hoping

That when I'm scared, you'll dim the horror
And when I laugh, make me laugh harder
So I'm okay with the way things are
And when I'm blue, you'll mix in red
Make me blush, hold me in bed
Make me forget about the way things are

I know it's hard in this city
Let's play pretend, will you do that with me?
Close my eyes, keep me distracted
Hold my hand so I can stand it

'Cause something's broken
But here's me hoping

That when I'm scared, you'll dim the horror
And when I laugh, make me laugh harder
So I'm okay with the way things are
And when I'm blue, you'll mix in red
Make me blush, hold me in bed
Make me forget about the way things are

Something's broken
But here's me hoping
Something's broken
But here's me hoping

That when I'm scared, you'll dim the horror
And when I laugh, make me laugh harder
So I'm okay with the way things are
And when I'm blue, you'll mix in red
Make me blush, hold me in bed
Make me forget about the way things are
