Broken

Lyrics

If I am frightened, then I can hide it

If I am crying, I'll call it laughter

If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend

If I am bleeding, I'll call it wine

But if you leave me, then I am broken

And if I'm broken, then only death remains

If I am drifting, then I can fight it

If I am sinking, no one will know it

If I am blinded, I'll have my voices still to guide me

If they yet fled away, I'd bless the silence

But if you leave me, then I am broken

And if I'm broken, then only death remains
