Lyrics:
(Verse 1) I'm standing here, watching you walk away With a smile on your face, like nothing's changed But the tears in your eyes, tell a different story And the way you look at me, fills my heart with glory
(Chorus) Oh, broken, broken, you're breaking my heart I can't seem to let you go, even though we're apart Broken, broken, you're tearing me down I'm trying to be strong, but I can't make a sound
(Verse 2) I know you're hurting, just like I am But we're both trying to find our way back to land We're lost at sea, drifting in the dark But I'll never forget you, no matter how far
(Chorus) Oh, broken, broken, you're breaking my heart I can't seem to let you go, even though we're apart Broken, broken, you're tearing me down I'm trying to be strong, but I can't make a sound
(Bridge) I'm trying to hold on, but it's getting harder To keep myself together, when you're not here I'm losing myself, in the pain of your absence But I'll never give up, on the hope of our chance
(Chorus) Oh, broken, broken, you're breaking my heart I can't seem to let you go, even though we're apart Broken, broken, you're tearing me down I'm trying to be strong, but I can't make a sound
(Outro) Broken, broken, I'm falling apart Broken, broken, you're tearing me apart
