Broken

Broken
© Julie Christensen Stone Cupid Music BMI

In the house of straw where we built our love
We could not care about how frail it was
Or how it took just a little shove
To remind us we could never nail it.
But you hold me close and I'm in my home
I feel it down to my aching bones

All my friends are broken
Some kind of way
Some are cracked wide open
Some come out okay.
There's no way of knowing
Who will break
It is not fair
I just keep on hoping
We are not beyond repair.

And the walls of stone that you built for years
They blocked the world and they held you in
And all it took was a spill of tears
To find the depth of the well you swim
But we've sent a rope, and you're coming home
To feel the warmth on your chilly bones

All my friends are broken
Some kind of way
Some are cracked wide open
Some come out okay.
There's no way of knowing
Who will break
It is not fair
I just keep on hoping
We are not beyond repair.
I just keep on hoping
We are not beyond repair.
