The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing With a broken heart that's still beating In the pain is there is healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on I'm barely holdin' on to you
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead I still see your reflection inside of my eyes That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing with a broken heart that's still beating In the pain is there is healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on I'm barely holdin' on to you
I'm handin' on another day Just to see what you will throw my way And I'm handing on to the words you say You said that I will be ok
The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home
A strangled smile fell from your face It kills me that I hurt you this way The worst part is that I didn't even know Now there's a million reasons for you to go But if you can find a reason to stay
I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know that I've let you down And if you give me a chance Believe that I can change I'll keep us together whatever it takes
She said "If we're gonna make this work You gotta let me inside even though it hurts Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see" She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"
I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know that I've let you down And if you give me a chance And give me a break I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better
But remember the time I told you the way that I felt That I'd be lost without you and never find myself Let's hold onto each other above everything else Start over, start over
I'll do whatever it takes To turn this around I know what's at stake I know I've let you down And if you give me a chance and believe that I can change I'll keep us together whatever it takes
Why, why do you always suck away all the oxygen causing me, you causing me to hyperventilate and in need of an ambulance Don't look at me, don't look at me just yet My face is turning red, it's giving me away It's nothing, how can there be anything I will never admit I like you
What should I do, the feeling is sweet yet sour Secretly loving you is happy yet lonely What should I do, I can't confess my love I hate you for not coming to my aid How can you be like this Your smile defeats the sun Even better looking than me Though I can't resist you But we still got time One day, it'll your turn to be crazy about me
Why, why do you have to appear at this unreasonable time causing me, you causing me to lose the little restraint and gracefulness I have Come near me, don't come near me How near should I be from you Oh no, I'm dead It's like I'm losing myself
What should I do, the feeling is sweet yet sour Secretly loving you is happy yet lonely What should I do, I can't confess my love I hate you for not coming to my aid
How can you be like this Your smile defeats the sun Even better looking than me Though I can't resist you But we still got time One day, it'll your turn to be crazy about me Be crazy about me
And Id give up forever to touch you cause I know that you feel me somehow Youre the closest to heaven that ill Ever be And I dont want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life cause sooner or later its over I just dont want to miss you tonight
And I dont want the world to see me cause I dont think that theyd Understand When everythings made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And you cant fight the tears that aint Coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know youre alive
And I dont want the world to see me cause I dont think that theyd Understand When everythings made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I dont want the world to see me cause I dont think that theyd Understand When everythings made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I dont want the world to see me cause I dont think that theyd Understand When everythings made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am
Faint light of dawn I'm listening to you breathing in and breathing out Needing nothing You're honey dipped You are beautiful, floating clouds, soft world I can't feel my lips
I'm going down, I don't want to change I'm going down, going down the drain
Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, I won't let you Don't bring me down
Then all of that's annulled and I'm ayone's everyone's We are one Your face becomes the sun And I'm addicted to the joy that the little things Those little things The little things they bring
I'm going down, I don't want to change I'm going down, going down the drain
Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, I won't let you Don't bring me down
So now for restless mind, I could go either way
I'm going down, I don't wanna change I'm going down, going down the drain
Don't bring me down, I beg of you Don't bring me down, I won't let you Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, don't let me
They say it's me that makes you do things You might not have down if I was away And that's it's me who like to talk to you And watches you as you walk away Don't say it's useless, don't say forget it Don't bring me wishes of silly dreams Just save us all from too much freedom Too many fingers and too many seams They say it's you that washes the wind And brings the night into the day If you won't notice how can I show you All of your worries have all gone away? Don't leave me lonely, don't leave me unhappy Just bring me up into your faith If you don't need me then don't you see me Letting my freedom turn to stone Just be my angel if you love me Be my angel in the night Be my angel cause you need me Be my angel and treat me right Don't say "Love me" if you don't need me Don't send me roses on your behalf Just take me down and walk through your river Down in the middle and make it last Holdin onto you holdin onto me Holdin on tight to my lover's cross Don't say it's useless and don't say forget it You are my spirit and now you are gone
I'm always assuming the worst but you're going on none the less and there's nothing to cushion your heart, let fall letters from further away keep pulling me close to home and theres something to cushion my calous sighs and i know that you hope for longer goodbyes embracing for forever and falling in your eyes in your eyes your eyes
pouring over photographs i'm living in your letters breathe deeply from this envelope it smells like you and i can't be without that scent its filling me with all you mean to me, to me
continually failing these trials but you stand by me none the less and you won't let me sink though i'm begging you, i'm begging you phonecalls from further away and messages on my machine but i dont ever tell you this distance seems terrible
there's no need to test my heart with useless space these roads go on forever, there'll always be a place for you in my heart
so i'll hit the pavement its gotta be better than waiting and pushing you far away cause i'm scared so i'll take my chances and head on my way up there cause turning to you is like falling in love when you're ten
