Broken

(7/09/2003)

“ The irony of this song is that I was very in love when I wrote it. But I was tired of writing happy love songs and in the mood to depict a tale of heartbreak. So I imagined what it would feel like if I found out my girlfriend had cheated on me right after I let my guard down.”

What would it take
To convince you?
That you meant the world to me
I could not have tried harder to please you
And worst thing of all is it seems you did not notice
And I thought that everything for you felt the same
I guess I was wrong to look at you and think that your
Precious eyes would never lie
CHORUS:
How could you say the sweet things you said
All of this time
How could you feel so good lying in my arms
All of those times
I'm breaking down

I feel compelled to tell you
That I'm taking this real tough
I could go anywhere
But I can't escape myself
And I thought that everything for you felt the same
I know now I was wrong
To look at you and think that we would be here forever
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
You aimed the barrel with such precision
The bullet went straight through my heart
While you cry in guilt, I'll try my best
But I love you still
GUITAR SOLO
CHORUS
