Broken Verse 1 It never happens with a single word No lightning strikes, no final curse Just tiny cracks gathering beneath our feet Two hearts that forgot how to beat Coffee cups and empty chairs Conversations full of air We mastered all the ways to stay Let the chips fall where they may Pre-Chorus You swore I quit reaching out to you I swore you quit trying to see it through Neither one of us could hear the truth Above the sounds of a silent goodbye Chorus We're broken... Not from one mistake But a thousand little moments We were far too proud to face We're broken... You blamed me and I blamed you Love turned into subtle cues Where no one told the truth Now all that's left is the silence... Two aching hearts no longer wanting saved Verse 2 We stopped asking how we were Afraid of what the truth might say Started speaking through our walls Instead of sharing face to face You carried every failure Like knives stuck in your chest I carried mine with anger Pretending that was best Pre-Chorus By the time we knew the cost We'd forgotten what we lost Chorus We're broken... Not from one mistake But a thousand little moments We were too proud to face We're broken... You blamed me and I blamed you Neither one of us was innocent And neither one of us made it through Bridge If I could gather every careless word Every night I let you cry Every time I chose my pride Instead of standing by your side Would they fit inside these empty rooms Or drown beneath the weight And if you gathered all your secrets All the walls you chose to raise Would we finally see the truth That love really didn't forsake us We slowly taught it to leave... and not believe us Final Chorus We're broken... The kind that doesn't show The kind that smiles in photographs While we quietly let go You broke me and I broke you From living every single day But love doesn't always end When someone walks away Sometimes it just ends Slowly Broken We're broken
