Something funny about being broken
Is the denial that you are

You convince yourself and others that you're fine
You convince yourself and others there's nothing to worry about

Well, friend, you are wrong

Because you are broken
And that is simply fact

You are indeed broken
Like a record that just repeats and repeats and repeats and re- you get it

You are indeed broken
You do need help

You are indeed broken
The rejection of said help isn't going to aid you in anyway

You are indeed broken
You're in need of a smile

You are indeed broken
Losing your ability to believe in "foolish things like love"

You are indeed broken
And you wish you could just scream how much you hurt

You are indeed broken
And you know you know that you are

I am indeed broken
And yet, I still try and convince myself I'm not

I am indeed broken
And yet, here I am saying that you are

We are indeed broken
And broken we shall stay

We are indeed broken,
But, for now I can't see it going away.
