Broken

AshleyBerkelmans

Push back all the pain
I don't want to feel this way

If you're thinking only happy thoughts
Then somehow this has all been bought

I fall asleep
To my shame I wake

Just plugged in again
To find my friend

My mind is on repeat

I'll break you
Make you see the world through tired eyes
Every time I stand two feet on this ground
I just want to die

Want to scream and cry
What am I doing set short

I will blow
Into the Earth that spat me out
Burnt all I know

Took my heart
Took my home
Took my faith
Took my trust
Took my Nan
Took my love

Take my hand
Let's both give up

Once I know I had compassion
I cared what happened
Where and when

Now when the fires burn like hell
I'm stood there
Gasoline in hand

Why

Do I think this will improve

Do I move or do I choose

To run and hide
Be the figure head to break your heart

Once I'm dead then I've no use of all this hurt
So take it all

You wanted truth
Then bend the knee

It's not as far to fall
