Broken (Acoustic) (Live) Lyrics
Seether
Lyrics
I wanted you to know. I love the way you laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away.
I keep your photograph. I know it serves me well.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open.
And I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause i'm broken when i'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when your gone away.
...
The worst is over now and we can breathe again.
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away.
There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
...
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
...
