Broken Window Lyrics by Rue Snider

Broken Window

2016

[Verse 1]
The more I try to love the less I love myself
I guess that you could say I'm headed down
Is there anyone among us who's never lost it?
"Probably not," I think as I look around
Cuz everyone around here knows that love is for children's stories
And God is a concept we measure pain with
Hey, relax, I'm just quoting John Lennon
All you need is love 'til your heart ends up deadened

[Chorus]
Maybe you are a baseball
And I am a broken window
So it doesn't matter what it is you do to me
We can coexist or you can strike me out like a batter
Either way I'll be in pieces sharp and shattered

[Verse 2]
Two steps forward then a hundred thousand back
I'm not good at lettin' go and moving on
I lost a good friend once to a cancer that rotted out his colon
It's been 18 years Danelle where have the days all gone?
Cuz everyone around here knows that I like to carry on
About my big big dreams that no one really wants to hear
Heartbreak is motivation to get your ass going
And that's the truth about why I quit living here

[Chorus]
Maybe you are a baseball
And I'm a broken window
So it doesn't matter what it is you do to me
We can coexist or you can strike me out like a batter
Either way I'll be in pieces sharp and shattered
