Broken Lyrics by Bernard Houston
Bernard Houston Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alcohol and weed, smoke 'em if you got ’em
When you're high as a kite, you're flying straight to the bottom
There was a time I never stumbled ’cause I was born flat-footed
But now my straight and narrow is so wide and crooked
[Chorus]
When you're broken, when you're broken
The pieces, they shatter and crumble until they're all gone
When you're broken, when you're broken
You move through the years, but the truth is you never move on
When you're broken
[Verse 2]
Last house on the block, we were always the poorest
I was a babe in the woods 'til daddy burnt down the forest
He’d come home drunk from late night bars, loaded fists and guns and cigarette scars
You can’t make this sh*t up, think I'll take us to the chorus
[Chorus]
When you’re broken, when you're broken
The pieces, they shatter and crumble until they're all gone
When you're broken, when you’re broken
You move through the years, but the truth is you never move on
When you're broken
[Post-Chorus]
When you're broken
[Bridge]
It's hard to close your eyes at night when you wake up from the terror
Where a young man screams, it was just a dream
But come the morning light, things ain't that much clearer
So you light up a smoke and pour on the hope, and
Pretend that someday you'll move on
But I'm broken
Broken
[Chorus]
When you're broken, when you're broken
The pieces, they shatter and crumble until they're all gone
When you're broken, when you're broken
You move through the years, but the truth is you never move on
The pieces, they shatter and crumble until you're all gone
When you're broken
[Outro]
Broken
