Broken


Broken I can't love anyone Because right now I'm broken But there was a time before when I wasn't In that time I loved him And in that time he loved me But that time is over And now I live in a shattered existence But I really miss him And sometimes when it's raining I can hear his voice and It lulls me back to the Numbness That I've become used to The numbness that he brought me As a present Along with my favorite flowers On the day he left me And now I cannot love you Because I am broken I am damaged goods That you aren't meant to open But if I could I'd love you Because you act so kindly And if I could I'd tell you How much I've come to rely On your smile alone
