Broken Things lyrics

I've come to you from broken things

I've crawled to you on my hands and knees

Sailed to you across the seven seas

If only to hear you say my name

I've come to you from broken times

I've showed you my face with no disguise

My memories a mirror without eyes

If only to take way your pain

If only to hear you say my name

You're the whispering in the rising wind

Empty and so cold too dark for the birds to fly in

They're lined up on the wall

And as I'm walking by they scattered and take off

I watch them as they rise into the sun

If only you believed you were the one

When the day is new the light is warm

Up on the bed the curtain is drawn and torn

The shadows forming, falling just behind

If only you believed all of my lies

Hanging in my heart just like a flag

When I'm lazy the wind, the colours sag

As the clouds rolling off the hill

Can't tell where the roofs begin and end

No more will I know my home again

Hear the whispering in the rising wind

Empty and so cold too dark for the birds to fly in

They're lined up on the wall

And as I'm walking by they scattered and take off

I watch them as they rise into the sun

If only you believed you were the one

If only you believed you were the one

If only you believed you were the one
