"Broke 2"

See I'm so self destructive

Hurt anyone one that comes near

Love is still one of my fears

Gathered up so many tears

Told myself I would change

And I started to grow

Feel like this time around, I'm not the one who's at fault

How can you be so in love? Then suddenly become distant strangers

To mend a heart is so much trouble

That's broken, torn and mangled

I swore that things would be different

You and I in a position

I tried to get you to talk

Impossible for you to listen

The writing all on the walls

Break up hyroglifics

Two people who've become distant

A lot of pushing and resistance

Our souls didn't mesh well - why do we keep trying to mix it?

I'm walking away

You're screaming out loud

No one wants to say sorry because their pride is too proud

**How come it never worked out?

We will probably never know why...

But you can't heal what was ready to die.**

 

(Hook)

 

You deepen more of my sickness

Just stared at me like a witness

You stretched out my demons

Put me through hell's fitness

I swore you were the cure

I finally healed when you left

Could never breath around you

I finally caught my breath.

I'm not opposed to love  

I'm opposed to deception

But what I've learned in this life

The last one is your most valuable lesson

You can learn from the past

Or get stuck and stay lost

Too many fish in the sea to not reel up and re toss

These days I'm slowly overthinking

At times you may cross my mind

**How come it never worked out?

We will probably never know why...

But you can't heal what was ready to die.**

 

(Hook)

 

I thank you for showing me something

That I didn't see back then

Don't need a response from you

Don't care to even be friends

I'm just liberating my mind, finally releasing my heart

Having full faith in myself and let time play its part

You've turned me into a brother - mama said she has a better son

Sometimes we forget to see all the good

that comes out of each outcome.

I found purity in someone else

I promise not to push her away

Because unlike the past

She sees a future with me

Learned to swallow my pride

Stop looking back at my mistakes

Realize it wasn't truly love

Just two people who made a mistake

But I can't help to wonder...

Always be a feeling inside...

**How come it never worked?

We will probably never know why...

But you can't heal what was ready to die**
