Broken from the Start

（Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh）

Life is a gift like fresh cut roses

Cut from the branch and brought inside

It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase

When our cords are cut that's when we start to die

（Oh）

Lately death and life get so confusing

I can't tell the difference here tonight

Lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death

And when time is dead I cease to be alive

If you hide yourself deep inside

Deep inside

In time you've got nothing left to hide

There's nothing left inside

Tonight, honey

I'm gonna break your heart

Mine was broken from the start

Broken from the start

（Oh）

Choice is the only thing we're given

For one to live another dies

One road says, "Hello"

The other says, "Goodbye"

And the rose that you don't choose begin to die

（Oh, oh）

If you hide yourself deep inside

Deep inside

In time you've got nothing left to hide

It dries up inside

Tonight, honey

I'm gonna break your heart

Mine was broken from the start

Broken from the start

Broken from the start

Broken from the start

They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing

They might pay a little to hear you cry

If you do it long enough

They might even pay attention

But they still won't pay respect until you die, die

If you hide yourself deep inside

Deep inside

In time you've got nothing left to hide

It's all dead inside

Tonight, honey

I'm gonna break your heart

Mine was broken from the start

Broken from the start
