Broken Things

[Verse 1]

I've come to you from broken things

I've crawled to you on my hands and knees

Sailed to you across the seven seas

If only to hear you say my name

I have come to you from broken times

I've shown you my face with no disguise

My memories a mirror without eyes

If only to take away your pain

If only to hear you say my name

[Chorus]

Hear the whisper in the rising wind, empty and so cold

Too dark for the birds to fly in and they're lined up on the wall

And as I'm walking by, they scatter and take off

I watch them as they rise into the sun

If only you believed you were the one

[Verse 2]

When the day is new the light is warm

Upon the bed the curtain is drawn and torn

The shadows forming, falling just behind

If only you believed all of my lies

Hanging in my heart just like a flag

When I'm lazy in the wind, the colors sag

As the clouds go rolling off the hill

I can't tell where the rooves begin and end

No more will I know my home again

[Chorus]

Hear the whisper of the rising wind, empty and so cold

Too dark for the birds to fly in, they're lined up on the wall

As I'm walking by they scatter and take off

Watch them as they rise into the sun

If only you believed you were the one

If only you believed you were the one

If only you believed you were the one
