Broken

Waking again don't know why it's far too still tonight

round my bed shadows fall

Thinking of you where you are and how it got this far

every heart beat turns toward the telephone

wondering when you might call

Tired and so alone I ignore the TV drone

You're in my mind in my dreams

I'm cursed or so it seems don't know where to take flight

Always the same old doubt

and it turns me inside out

it's so hard to walk away

try as I might

Because I'm broken inside pieces of me

intense and obscene

Forced not to show the things that I know

all of the flaws I keep unseen

I turn to you what else can I do

hoping to find a way to see through

a break in sky to get through the night

discover the peace I wish I knew

Painting in shades of grey sifting through the disarray

Can I find enough of me to make you stay

Because I'm broken inside pieces of me

intense and obscene

Forced not to show the things that I know

all of the flaws I keep unseen

I turn to you what else can I do

hoping to find a way to see through

a break in sky to get through the night

discover the peace I wish I knew

But you you turn the tide wash over me come set me free

I won't question why or try to disguise

all of the things you mean to me

I'll trust in you what else can I do

I can't deny something so true

Look at me now wondering how

I'll keep the peace I found with you
