On Every Little Street, In Every Little Town (For The Broken Home)
Let's say I've learned my lesson
Over and over again.
I swore that you would change...
...yeah, right...
But it's not you who's changed.
It was me.
Am I better for it, you say?
Doesn't matter to you any way
Same broken road, broken home,
Crazy glued together for show.
All the same,
But it isn't.. in a way.
I want to wake up once without
wishing
hoping
praying
That I could count on you.
Because I don't need you.
Not really.
I'll leave you alone, with these holes
and cracks in the ground.
Because I'm tired of feeling
trapped
On every little street,
In every little town
