When you left here this morning
you were a broken bird
you said you can't turn out a fire

you can't turn out a fire
your stance is widened
your smile is hiding

what you want nobody to see

broken bird now you're free


when you called from the pay phone
you were a paper doll

said i couldn't tear you up easy
as weak as you were
and strong as i was


you think im stronger
i think you're wrong girl

its not easy to give you away
still you call just to say


just to say you were broken
you were broken
you were broken

you were a broken bird

yeah you knew when you met me

that i was a razor blade
and these halls have bad memories
ill do what it takes

just to cut them all loose
cause thats where i found you
thats where i bound you

to the rocket set straight for the moon
where i will meet you soon


i could tell you were broken
stranded in motion
you were broken

you were a broken bird

and you asked me for the world

all i gave you was a fallen sky
yeah you asked me for the world
all you needed was a place to fly

yeah you asked me for the world
i couldn't give you the world


cause you were broken
left your heart open
you were broken

you were a broken bird
broken bird


you were broken
stranded in motion
you were broken

you were a broken bird
