lyrics
Long ago I lie awake
Close my eyes and try to think
And I saw heaven open up and from my dreams, well, I...
...I woke up
I have seen my friends pretend
To a good successful end
But I try hard and can't deceive
And just in time to admit defeat
I am broken
So I retreat to my native land
Where I rebuild my confidence
But scaffolds break and heaven's bound
And social duty makes a sound
I am broken
Could I have chosen better words?
Could you have chosen better ears?
An angel took a burning coal
And missed my lips and burned a hole in the ocean
Will you come and be my queen?
Play the drum so we can sing
That, "if I ever fail my due
You love me, and I love you"
We're unbroken
