So strip away
All of my shadows
And light me up brighter than the sun
My hands are strong from building these gallows
Many will be left hanging before my time here is done
before my time is done
before my time is done
Well I could show you no merciful side again
I could just hold you, wouldn't that be nice
One thing I know by now
Is that in the end you can never swim in the same river twice
Try and you're wasting your time
Oh I don't know why god made me this way
(And i'm so sorry)
I don't know how much more I can take
(And i'm so sorry)
You know it's always my mistake
(And i'm so sorry)
And i'll be sorry when I break you
So take me high and fly me over the mountains
Cry of the raven and the scream of the dove,
And i'll be gone on the wings of the eagles
High road behind me, left everything that I loved
All of the things I loved
Oh I don't know why god made me this way
(And i'm so sorry)
I don't know how much more I can take
(And i'm so sorry)
You know it's always my mistake
(And i'm so sorry)
And i'll be sorry when I see that your gone
Gone away, like a god gone astray
Not a word will be spoken of how it broke me when I saw you broken
Broken
Broken
When I broke you
Want it all but can't pay the bill
Just staring out my little window sill
My companion is one colorful pill
Nobody cares about what they can't kill
All of my shadows
And light me up brighter than the sun
My hands are strong from building these gallows
Many will be left hanging before my time here is done
before my time is done
before my time is done
Well I could show you no merciful side again
I could just hold you, wouldn't that be nice
One thing I know by now
Is that in the end you can never swim in the same river twice
Try and you're wasting your time
Oh I don't know why god made me this way
(And i'm so sorry)
I don't know how much more I can take
(And i'm so sorry)
You know it's always my mistake
(And i'm so sorry)
And i'll be sorry when I break you
So take me high and fly me over the mountains
Cry of the raven and the scream of the dove,
And i'll be gone on the wings of the eagles
High road behind me, left everything that I loved
All of the things I loved
Oh I don't know why god made me this way
(And i'm so sorry)
I don't know how much more I can take
(And i'm so sorry)
You know it's always my mistake
(And i'm so sorry)
And i'll be sorry when I see that your gone
Gone away, like a god gone astray

Broken
