Broken Bird

When you left here this morning
You were a broken bird
You said you can't turn out a fire
You can't turn out a fire

Your stance is widened
Your smile is hiding
What you want nobody to see
Broken bird, now you're free

When you called from the pay phone
You were a paper doll
Said i couldn't tear you up easy
As weak as you were
And strong as i was

You think i'm stronger
I think you're wrong girl
It's not easy to give you away
Still you call just to say

Just to say you were broken
You were broken
You were broken
You were a broken bird

Yeah you knew when you met me
That i was a razor blade
And these halls have bad memories
I'll do what it takes
Just to cut them all loose

'cause that's where i found you
That's where i bound you
To the rocket set straight for the moon
Where i will meet you soon

I could tell you were broken
Stranded in motion
You were broken
You were a broken bird

And you asked me for the world
All i gave you was a fallen sky
Yeah you asked me for the world
All you needed was a place to fly
Yeah you asked me for the world
I couldn't give you the world

'cause you were broken
Left your heart open
You were broken
You were a broken bird
Broken bird

You were broken
Stranded in motion
You were broken
You were a broken bird
