Broken Bones

You were the light when the dark came in

  You were the air when I came crashing down

  To soften the blow before I hit the ground

  And broken bones tell no lies

  And broken hearts hide deep inside

  To avoid the pain on the outside

You were the rain when the fire came

  You were the sound when I couldn't hear my name

  To awaken my bones and bring me to life

  From the dead where it was oh so quiet

  And broken bones tell no lies

  And broken hearts hide deep inside

  To silence the drumming

  To silence the thunder in my veins

  I remeber that love is blind

  The love I had for you burned me alive
