Broken Toy Lyrics by Keane

Under the Iron Sea

2006

[Verse 1]
I think you know because it's old news
The people you love are hard to find
So I think if I were in your shoes
I would be kind

[Chorus]
I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now

[Verse 2]
I want to stay another season
See summer upon this sorry land
So don't dust off your gun without a reason
You understand

[Chorus]
I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now

[Bridge]
Who says a river can't leave its waters?
Who says you walk in a line?
Who says a city can't change its borders?
Who says you're mine?
Oh-oh

[Interlude]
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]
I look out for you
Come rain, come shine
What good does it do?
I guess I'm a record you're tired of
I guess we're just older now
I guess I'm a toy that is broken
I guess we're just older now
