Broken Mess

Broken Mess

(Whispered)
So many tears have been shed
Too many wounds left to mend

[Rhythmic screaming]

Chorus
I can’t take the pain you left me with
[No I can’t take it, this pain, this pain you left me with!]
Just a crumpled heap on the floor
How could you leave me, leave me such a broken mess?
[You left me such a broken mess!]

Pieces of the life I used to have with you
They drift through my dreams, taunting me, teasing me
(Taunting and teasing)
I think you told me you loved me
(Did you love me?)
Or is that another of your broken promises?

So many tears have been shed
Too many wounds left to mend

(Shedding and mending, mending and shedding)

Cradled in my arms
A memory of a time long ago
(Yes such a long time)
I squeezed you tight
Telling you ‘Good night’
(No baby I won’t let the bed bugs bite)

Chorus

I thought I couldn’t live without you
[No, no, couldn’t live without you]
Sleepless nights I’ve spent
Yes I spent them thinking of you
(Do you think of me too?)

[Too many tears have been shed
So many wounds left to mend]

Chorus x 2

Drunken stupors, staying up late, midnight road trips, shoplifting escapades…
You taught me to live… you taught me to breathe.
And now here I am, trying to pick up the shattered pieces.

If I had just one wish, I would wish you back here… back here with me
(Yes right back here)
You’re all I will ever need
If I had just one wish, I would wish you back here
[Back here! Back in my arms!]
Wish you were here to help me through this long and bitter night

[Whispering in a fading voice, loud drum solo]

(One more wish to mend these bleeding scars)
(One more wish to stop this everlasting hell)
