Lyrics


Broken

If you want control

Without any pain

How long will you suffer

How long you reign


You see, the friend that I need

Cannot be found

Replaced by another

Wearing his crown


There's a place where I go

Without any sound

Only you can reach me

Only you're allowed


Then you're so far away

You're so far from here

Do you remember

A time without tears


When you're falling I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it, I will be there

You were broken from the start


When you were a child

You'd dream all day long

You'd dream of the future

And get lost in your songs


Now that time is gone

It's lost for you now

Words long forgotten

Forgotten somehow


When you're falling I will catch you

You don't have to fall that far

You can make it, I will be there

You were broken from the start
