Lyrics
Broken Sidewalks
Broken sidewalks on this side of town
There?s no glitter fallin? round me
My face won?t break the wall down
There?s nobody talking bout me
I?m standin? on the wrong side of makin? it
Broken sidewalk side
Excuses don?t help me feel
Worthwhile when I wake in the morning
Need something solid and real
To make the struggle seem important
I?m standin? on the wrong side of makin? it
Broken sidewalk side
Feels like I?m on a path that leads to nowhere fast
Standin? on the broken sidewalk side
Standing in a place where dreams never come true
The ugly part of life is all that shines on you
Every morning I crawl out of bed
Ask heaven to show me the way
To face the demons in my head
And take this heartache away
I?m standin? on the wrong side of makin? it
Broken sidewalk side
Feels like I?m on a path that leads to nowhere fast
Standin? on the broken sidewalk side
Feels like I?m on a path that leads to nowhere fast
Standin? on the broken sidewalk side
