The Hearts of Our Broken

Oh, this lump in my throat
It’s hard for me to speak
And your words mean less now
When you talk to me
All I ever wanted was a rush
Gave into my addictions when all I wanted was love
A few words spoken,
But I’m still broken (broken)
You left me bruised and broken in
My heart is black and blue
I stand alone on this lonely road
You left me bruised and broken in
My heart is black and blue
And every time that I look in my mirror
I give right into you
Broken people
Like you, like me
We are the ones who can’t ever seem
To carry on
For all the way
With all our holy peace
We know we should leave but why don’t we stay
You left me bruised and broken in
My heart is black and blue
I stand alone on this lonely road
You left me bruised and broken in
My heart is black and blue
And every time that I look in my mirror
I give right into you
I search for a new light
In these hard times
Throw caution to the wind
Every time they try to box me in
I search for a new light
In these dark times
Throw caution to the wind
When they box me in
You left me bruised and broken in
My heart is black and blue
I stand alone on this lonely road
You left me bruised and broken in
My heart is black and blue
And every time and every time that I look in my mirror
I give right into you
