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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
