Broken Things Lyrics by Traci Braxton

On Earth

2018

[Verse 1: Traci]
It's a cold wind blowing in the air tonight
My heart's frozen in my chest (Heart's frozen in my chest)
There's a cold war going on between us now
And we're looking at a stalemate at best (Ah)
'Cause neither one of us is strong enough to apologize
'Cause neither one of us is wrong (Wrong)
'Cause neither one of us has got the guts to leave tonight
'Cause we don't wanna be alone

[Pre-Chorus 1: Traci]
'Cause we don't wanna be alone (We don't wanna be alone)
'Cause we don't wanna be alone (We don't wanna be alone)
'Cause we don't wanna be alone (We don't wanna be alone)
'Cause we don't wanna be alone, oh (We don't wanna be alone)

[Chorus: Traci, with Toni, Towanda and Trina]
You and me and hearts and strings
Who can fix these broken things?
Who can put us back together now that we're undone?
Now that we can't remember how, tell me
Who can fix these broken things?

[Verse 2: Traci]
The sky is turning black and my hands are blue
'Cause I've been holding on to you ('Cause I've been holding on to you)
Baby, you're the biggest mountain that I'm yet to move
And I've been praying for a miracle (Ah)
But neither one of us is not in love, I know that much
We're just two rebels with no cause (Cause)
And neither one of us is looking for love with no one else
'Cause we're the only ones we want

[Pre-Chorus 2: Traci]
'Cause we're the only ones we want (We're the only ones we want)
'Cause we're the only ones we want, oh (We're the only ones we want)
'Cause we're the only ones we want (We're the only ones we want)
'Cause we're the only ones we want, oh

[Chorus: Traci, with Toni, Towanda and Trina]
You and me and hearts and strings (Hearts and strings)
Who can fix these broken things?
Who can put us back together now that we're undone?
Now that we can't remember how, tell me
Who can fix these broken things?

[Bridge: Traci]
Broken things (Things)
Can we start over again? (Can we start over again?)
Start from scratch, where we began? (Where we began)

[Chorus: Traci, with Toni, Towanda and Trina]
(Whoa)
You and me and hearts and strings (Ah, ah)
Who can fix these broken things? (Who can fix these broken things, yeah? Oh no)
Who can put us back together now that we're undone?
Now that we can't remember how, tell me (Oh, tell me who)
Who can fix these broken things?
