Broken

I watched life break apart so many times

That now I understand

Nothing ever lasts

I stood in the shadows

Crying so many times

As things went past

And there was no one to tell

The story to

And so it remained all locked up inside

But now after years of unravelling

I understand how it all went down

And when you come to me

With your stories of drama

I wish that I had the energy to listen

But something in me just shuts down

Believe me

I have tried in the past

To fight fire with fire

But where does it end

All of this arguing

And even if you voice is loud enough

To drown our all the other voices around

What is it that you gained

And what is it that you lose

For sometimes things just break

And there is no way to make things better

Or overcome the flood

No matter how hard you try

No matter how loud you shout
