Broken lyrics

She said "Thanks but I'm broken

I guess you must have misspoken

What a laugh, I've never been chosen by anyone"

She was barely a teen, hangin' out in between

Just a part of the scene

With mercurial smile and incurable style

She was only a dream

How's that he didn't know a thing about

Makin' love to the kinda girl you read about

He said "I'm bound to be broken"

"My daddy bet that i'd amount to nothin'"

He won't let anybody show him anything

He was a troubled child

Had been down for awhile

Always kept to himself

Though she couldn't defend he only wanted a friend

Now he's made somethin' else

It's so sad

No one saw it comin'

The paper said that he hit the ground runnin'

Oh Yeah

I know I'm not broken

A little cracked

But still I'm not broken

I wanna laugh but I think that I am chokin' on reality

When the world is turning for you

Don't turn on me

Who are you here to repair

Well I don't know what you mean

You could never resist

Glorifying despair

And now it's comin' to you and I don't really care

Well I'm not the kind to insist

You couldn't of missed

We must co-exist

So please listen to me

There is no such thing as human debris

Oh Yeah

I know I'm not broken

A little cracked

But that amounts to nothin'

I wanna laugh

I'm not jokin'

I'm unbroken

(Oh Yeah, I said I'm not broken)

I said I'm unbroken

(A little cracked, It's just a token)

I'm really not broken

(Well I guess, I'm unbroken)
