Broken Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

How ironic it all seems because I remember you
Telling me about other lovers
Running out of words to say to each other
And how beautiful you thought it was and I agreed
That could never happen to you and me
So here we sit in silence, searching our heads for common ground
We′ve rehashed the past and beaten it down
Left us with nothing, no present, no future
I still read your letter and all that evil makes me sick
But this is regimented pain and gives me the illusion
That I have lived
It gives me this illusion
That I have lived, yeah
It gives me this illusion
That I have lived
I was the one that pushed you off the pedestal I put you on
And with my arms still outstretched I watched you fall And break apart like glass on the highway
I realized my mistake a bit too late
Because I'd never risk picking up the pieces
Jesus, look at them all
I′d never risk picking up all those goddamn pieces
Because I lose control at the site of my own blood
Yeah
And I still read your letter, and all that bullshit makes me sick
But this is regimented pain
It gives me the illusion
That I have lived
It gives me this illusion
That I have lived, yeah
Gives me this illusion
That I have lived
I've lived, yeah
