lyrics

Broken
words and music by John Lester


So now all's been said and done
I thought the truth might ease our minds
But the truth just makes two very separate sides
That we each defend

But if I'd only tied
To give ourselves just a little time
Some time to leave the fragile space behind
Maybe we'd part as friends

But I've broken all that you and I would ever be
For my anger and my pride, it never lets me see
That each change must start in me
But now it's grown to late to mend
What I've broken
What I've broken

But life goes on and on
And like two river's to the sea
There's no real end to you or me
And though we part maybe we'll meet again

But in the stillness that I greet
There's one reflection
Of a willow weeping with the breeze
It's telling me I should have learned to bend

Because I've broken all that you and I would ever be
For my anger and my pride never let me see
That the change must start in me
And now it's grown to late to mend
What I've broken
What I've broken

Why do I always try
To dig so deep inside
When there's a time for letting go
And you think by now I'd know

Because I've broken all that you and I would ever be
For my anger and my pride, it never let me see
That the change must come from me
And now it's grown to late to mend
What I've broken
What I've broken
What I've broken
