When I’m Broken Lyrics by Janine

XXEP - EP

2015

[Verse 1]
If I am caught up
Wanting you to be everything you said you would be, for me
Knowing that nothing we shared was real
I guess forever's just a temporary feel
You won't be happy 'til my back's off the wall
So you can kick my feet from under me and laugh while I fall
You won't be happy 'til my back is up off the wall
So you can kick my feet from under me and laugh while I fall
You're the reason I fall
Never see but

[Pre-Chorus]
We shared each other's bodies a few hundred times
And here we are pretending we don't know each other's faces
We shared each other's bodies a few hundred times
And here we are pretending we don't know each other's faces

[Chorus]
You like me more when I am broken
Is that why you just try to hurt me?
You had your mouth full of forevers
Forever's for me when I'm weak
Forever's for me when I'm weak

[Refrain]
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are

[Verse 2]
It's hard for you, it's hard, isn't it?
Creating always trouble, it seems tough living in it
It can't be you though
Must be everybody else, everybody else, everybody you know
Break me down, piece by piece, I know that you like it
Wait 'til my lungs are on their last breath and go and strike it
Break me down, piece by piece, I know that you like it
Wait 'til my lungs are on their last breath then go and strike me down
Then go and strike me down

[Pre-Chorus]
We shared each other's bodies a few hundred times
And here we are pretending we don't know each other's faces
We shared each other's bodies a few hundred times
And here we are pretending we don't know each other's faces

[Chorus]
You like me more when I am broken
Is that why you just try to hurt me?
You had your mouth full of forevers
Forever's for me when I'm weak
Forever's for me when I'm weak

[Refrain]
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are
Here we are, here we are, here we are

[Bridge]
You love me when I'm broken
You love me when I'm broken
You love me when I'm broken
You love me when I'm broken
What does that say about you?
What does that say about you?
What does that say about you?
Think about it
I don't think you want me
As much as you wanna say that you had me
No you don't even want me
You just wanna say that you had me, had me, had me
Should have gotten me
You're without me
Should have gotten me

[Outro]
When I'm broken, you just love me when I'm broken, don't you?
When I'm broken, you just love me when I'm broken, don't you?
When I'm broken, you just love me when I'm broken, don't you?
