Bent and Broken

People stray

Make mistakes

And regret the day

But nobody really changes



Circumstances are skewed

Feelings are twisted

Fate is screwed

Love again resisted



I look in the mirror

Only to find the face of a stranger

Cuts on my arms becoming clearer

And hope being torn by anger



Well it seems I'm falling farther

I want a love, I want to feel

Find peace

And find a way



'Cause I'm missing you

More than you'll ever know

And this feeling is nothing new

Your love for me is burning low



Unrelenting rain pelts the ground

Washing the place where blood once lay

And the love that was found

Lays in the gutter this sad deadened day



A crumpled mess of tangled words

And hearts entwined tightly

They unravel and the cords loosen

And the future shatters on the pavement sweetly



As these words reach the stars this night

I carry on and leave my love on the road behind me

My heart is heavy and tired from the fight

I have no more life yet left in me



And it burns on down

The superstructure of our love

Finally it fades, faster than a feigned frown

And the smoke envelops like a glove



Drop to my knees and pray

Bow my head to the wet street

And hope to carry on this day

To let it go and land on my feet



There's always so far to go

On the shortest route to happiness

Always seems to be against the flow

And love leads to sadness



In all the cracks of my memories

My love bleeds through

And puddles around my feet

Drowning me slowly
