Lyrics When Broken Is Easily Fixed - Silverstein

When Broken Is Easily Fixed

I can resist everything
Except temptation
My body breaks, I’m intact inside
My human instinct, I can love unconditionally
Cross my heart and lie to you
(My conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair)
Failure within me
Promise you and let you down
(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself)
Brings me to my knees
Follow me, lead you astray
(Nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail)
Loathe myself to sleep
Your words kill me
You can breathe without oxygen
And live without sorrow
How I envy you, though pity your ghost
Ignorance is bliss
I wish I could never love you
Cross my heart and lie to you
(My conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair)
Failure within me
Promise you and let you down
(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself)
Brings me to my knees
Follow me, lead you astray
(Nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail)
Loathe myself to sleep
Your words kill me
So ironic that a heart made by man
When broken is easily fixed
But a human hurt can last a lifetime
Rust or decay
The fire or the flame
You and I will lead the path to change
(Pave the way)
Rust or decay
The fire or the flame
You and I will lead the path to change
(Pave the way)
Rust or decay
The fire or the flame
You and I will lead the path to change
(Pave the way)
