Broken Lyrics by David Archuleta

Begin.

2012

[Verse 1]
I know you don't wanna say goodbye yet
But she can't survive here with just a petal
You still have one wish but it'd be useless
More than roses have died in this desert
Child, it seems that younger and younger
They start to wipe your minds clean
But how, I wonder, just barely under
Do your eyes continue sparkling?

[Chorus]
And I-I never wanna open up your eyes, everything's broken
And I-I never wanna open up your heart, everything's broken

[Verse 2]
I don't understand why they are gone
Or what reason there is to be strong
I still try to love but I'm in a place where
Doing what's right is so wrong
But if you see me ignore the gun
We are still fighting for life
Here's our wish just to exist
In more than our eyes

[Chorus]
And I-I never wanna open up your eyes, everything's broken
And I-I never wanna open up your heart, everything's broken

[Bridge]
Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel?
It doesn't matter until we see broken lives heal
Do you see what I see? Do you feel what I feel?
It doesn't matter until we see broken lives heal
Oh oh oh oh oh...
And I-I found it hard to open up my mouth, will they hear what's spoken?
But I-I saw when I opened up my eyes, invisible children

[Outro]
Broke, but not broken
Broke, but not broken
