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
