lyrics

mirrors in your eyes
reflect the cracks in mine
is this our demise
sharing the same spine
broken people know
where broken people go
when they vanish

look right through me
and you'll see yourself
reach into me
pull the child out
broken people know
how broken people throw away their chances
and broken people know
why broken people stow away the hurt

stand too tall and see me cower
speak too soft and hear me cry
be too kind and turn me stoney
trading truth for familiar lies
broken people know
how broken people go
broken people know
broken people know
it's safer here alone

break down the walls
and step outside
strip away the layers
unravel your mind
there's safety in the silence
there's truth in knowing why
we tangle and we tire
detached from our own sight

broken people know
how broken people grow
broken people know
you can't heal on your own
broken people know
broken people know
broken people know
broken people know
