Why can't you just believe in me?
Not everyone is the enemy
I'm trying hard I swear I am
I'm doin' the best I can
But I'm Broken
Broken
I'm wagin' war up in my head
Last time I loved it 'bout left me dead
And you're no better off 'cause you got burned too
By someone you thought you really knew
Now you're Broken
Broken
You hold a little back in case I leave
That way I can't take all of you
But that guarded part is the part I need
So I don't feel like I'm a fool
Last time that I let somebody in
It really hurt me but that was then
So here we are, just you and me
The sum of all our injuries
Don't try to push me 'cause I might break
Not sure how much of this I can take
So if you otta go, well that's alright too
Guess there's not a lot that we can do
'Cause we're Broken
Broken
You hold a little back in case I leave
That way I can't take all of you
But that guarded part is the part I need
So I don't feel like I'm a fool
Yeah, we're Broken
Baby we're Broken

Heavenly Days
Look at that sky
It could've been rainin'
It could've been dry
It could've been cloudy
It could've been clear
It could've been sunshine
It could've been drear
It could've been so many ways
Heavenly Days
Havenly Days
So what do we do?
Dare to be different
Dare to be true
Bury the treasure
Like we've always done
Or crawl from the wreckage
And walk in the sun
Fannin' the flame 'til it's a blaze
Heavenly Days
Heavenly Days
Look at us now
We're comin' up roses
And takin' a bow
Tennessee tomboy
Feminine girl
Takin' a ride
On the top of the world
Nobody's master
Nobody's slave
Heavenly Days
It's your place in line
It's your right of birth
It's your light to shine
Down on God's green earth
It's your brother's hand
It's your sister's smile
It's your father's plan
For your mother's child
And it's comin' in waves
Heavenly Days

I hope I haven't been lying here long
I'd say, "I told you so," but I'm long gone
Who called you? Who found me?
Who had to spread the news?
I hope it wasn't my sister
I wrote it down for you in case I didn't survive
In a black notebook right there by my side
Be sure to read it, it'll tell you everything
Go ahead and start from December
These are my notes to the coroner
Clues with no compromise
Notes to the coroner
Details of my demise
You'll wanna take my blod to smear on a slide
But if you just read on you'll know how I died
Terminal sadness, chronic regret
A big ball of pain in pajamas
These are my notes to the coroner
Clues with no compromise
Notes to the coroner
Details of my demise
Palpitations of a broken heart
Triggered my shortness of breath
I lost too much love and then I fell apart
Official cause of my death
Notes to the coroner
Clues with no compromise
Notes to the coroner
Details of my demise
These are my notes to the coroner
Clues with no compromise
Notes to the coroner
Details of my demise

My bellybutton came untied
The elevator turned to stone
I ran with waving arms
Then I lifted off the ground
I took a pill I shouldn't have
I'm not so sorry that I did
'Cause I can't wait to slip out where
I'm lost and can't be found
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
I see my mother, she is young
She doesn't know it's me I guess
We talk about the planets
Then run wildly down the street
The circles and the squares
Are shaking one another's hands
And I'm about to get on stage
But I'm too naked for to sing
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oh is this a bad dream?
Or the best dream that I've ever had?
And oh what is waiting, beyond the mirror,
Beyond the curtain,
Beyond what fades into the black?
I'm floating in a snow globe
Being tossed around like glitter
And I think I'm being shot at
So I swing and swing in vain
Apostrophes and commas
They are doing all that they do
Trying to reconcile some truth
In an atmosphere insane
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
