Lyrics
Broken
(c) 2011 Lisa Horan
I need to find a hiding place
Somewhere that I'll be safe from the memory your face
Turn the light out when you go
Lock the door and leave me in my alone
But if you would be so kind
To clean up what's left behind
There's a dust pan and the brush
Sweep me up
Chorus
Cause I am broken into pieces
I'm ripped open I am bleeding
Verse 2
Like a robber in disguise
You made off with a piece of my life
And left me here with haunting doubt
That screams and taunts me to figure all this out
But if you would be so kind
To clean up what you left behind
There's a dust pan and the brush
Sweep me up
Chorus
Cause I am broken into pieces
I'm ripped open I am bleeding
You have stolen
the deepest part of me
Bridge
But someday I'll be whole again
And in the end you will not win
But every day until that day
I'll fight to find a way to say that I've broken through the pain
Chorus
Cause I am broken into pieces (I will be whole again)
I'm ripped open I am bleeding (You will not win)
I'm broken into pieces (I will be whole)
You have stolen
the deepest part of me
