Tokens Of A Broken Love

she held the strands of pearls like a rosary
cut the string and one by one gave it back to the sea
words of love and photographs, paper promises
turn to amber, curled to ash up in smoke just like that

chorus
tokens of a broken love, things that used to mean so much
nothing but keepsake reminders of heartaches
they're just tokens of a broken love

she smiled and slipped the ring in a blind man's cup
past the cafe where they met, all closed down, boarded up
rose petals on the ground like fallen tears
lost their purpose, drying out, all they are to her now are

chorus
tokens of a broken love, things that used to mean so much
nothing but keepsake reminders of heartaches
they're just tokens of a broken love

she's been making room inside her heart
sweeping out some dreams that fell apart

chorus
tokens of a broken love, things that used to mean so much
nothing but keepsake reminders of heartaches
they're just tokens of a broken love
