Broken Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you had seen
You'd understand
If you had seen
You'd break like me
[Verse 2]
If you had seen
All the things that I've seen
You'd scream like I scream
I know
[Verse 3]
If you had seen
You'd feel like I feel
Empty and broken
I know
[Verse 4]
I've seen the sky on fire
Seen the oceans dry
Seen the mountains fall
Seen the whole world die
If you had seen
You'd understand
If you had seen
You'd break like me
[Verse 2]
If you had seen
All the things that I've seen
You'd scream like I scream
I know
[Verse 3]
If you had seen
You'd feel like I feel
Empty and broken
I know
[Verse 4]
I've seen the sky on fire
Seen the oceans dry
Seen the mountains fall
Seen the whole world die
