lyrics

Stay Broken

I found a hair of yours on my jacket from last night
When we were the roof talking about everything and nothing
I found my heart was running back to sit with you
When everything had closed, the morning streets are clear and empty

Everybody looks ugly on their own in a hotel room
Everybody knows somebody who they would rather screw
There’s nothing wrong with planning things we never meant to do
Stay broken

I found a little piece of you in my mind
Then it starts me laughing for a beat too long so
Working people fall a step or two behind
Thinking no one should be quite this happy in the morning

Everybody thinks
They’re more than themselves when with a heart
That makes your mind explode
And see yourself as somebody apart
When everything you thought was wrong
Turns out to just be who you are
Stay broken

I found myself thinking about when you’re not here
When you lose yourself in you, ‘cause no one else will ever do
When everybody stops being on your side
When you refuse us once too often and too strongly

Everybody looks beautiful when kissing someone else
Every time I think on you I find I’m singing to myself
It was a different girl who fell in love with you
Because she couldn’t think of a better thing to do
Than stay broken...
There’s nothing better to do...
Nothing better to do...
