Broken

the moment i spoke
the second i said those words
i knew i would regret them
because i saw them hurt
but the memories remain
i thought theyd hold me through
i never thought they would wither and be destroyed
by cruel tricks of time,like the scarrings of my youth
the moment i said it
was the moment i saw, the truth

" because your smile is cracke and faded
and you let go of my hand
because my will is worn and dated
and on my own i cannot stand
because you broke me
when i saw you fall apart
and through it all you know,
that you will always have my heart"

symbiotic, or parasitic
either way i just dont care
either way i once knew so well
that you would always have been there
until i let you fall
and i watched myself lose it all
it happened in slow motion as you crumpled down to earth
and then i knew the very instant that i too had been hurt

" because your smile is cracked and faded
and you refuse to hold my hand
and i dont know if ill make it
because on my own ill never stand
i know that i cant change it
but how i wish youd understand
that im broken, becase your broken
and your jaw is left wide open
from the words i wish id never said
your smile is cracked and faded,
with your hand inside my hand
when will we ever learn
when can we breathe again"

so take it all in
and give me your answer
as deep as an ocen
as painful as cancer
i dont really give a damn
just know that i have done
verything that i ever can
to fix this wound
and heal you right
im through with im sorry
im down to are you gonna be allright
because were broken
and we cant reclaim
all that was taken from us
when we turned our backs to one another in our rage
can you forgive me
if you cant i understand
but know tht i will always be here
and im ready to take you by the hand

" your smile though cracked and faded
is the is the light within my eyes
youve got to take my hand
and teach me how to fly
were not broken anymore
no were not broken anymore
tellme its okay
and we can breath again
because were finally repaired
and it feels so good to no longer be broken"
