The Gentleman and the Onion Lyrics by Call Me Malcolm

I Was Broken When You Got Here

2018

[Verse 1]
Don't leave me here in bits
I  don't have the tools
And  there's enough to fix
So please leave me as I was found
Just a little far gone
But  I'm otherwise sound
And  I'm missing a corner piece
And if you don't like my puzzle
Then  my odds decrease
I'm a picture without a filter
That drove you away
And left me off kilter
[Chorus]
Shut  your heart to keep the storm out
I'm pretty sure you know
How this pans out
Close your eyes you'll keep the heat in
There's two types of broken heart
And yours is beating, oh!
[Verse 2]
I'm damaged and I'll agree
There's a hole on my sleeve
Where my heart used to be
And it kills me that you're the muse
That played the guitar
And brought home the blues
And I'm missing a corner piece
Just shut the world out
Keep your heart clean
If you never try to breathe
Then you'll never breathe out
What's underneath
[Chorus]
Shut your heart to keep the storm out
I'm pretty sure you know
How this pans out
Close your eyes you'll keep the heat in
There's two types of broken heart
And yours is beating‚ oh!
No!
[Instrumentals]
[Chorus]
Shut your heart to keep the storm out
I'm pretty sure you know
How this pans out
Close your eyes you'll keep the heat in
There's two types of broken heart
And yours is beating‚ oh!
[Outro]
Don't leave me here in bits
I don't have the tools
And there's enough to fix
