"Broken Like Us" lyrics
We're sitting in this house
You and I and no one else
While the world is falling down
And the sirens sing like bells
We're so high above this town
There's no use in crying for help
Will we ever make it out?
Only time or God will tell
But for now we'll hold each other tight
Lying on the floor underneath our bed
Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs
We're broken
We're broken
Take another breath that we won't get back
Crashing to the ground all the photographs
So broken
So broken like us
In a hundred years from now
Will this house be standing still?
With a couple looking out
From the broken window sills?
Will the bullet holes be gone?
Like the quiet life we built
Will they still remember us?
All the tears and blood we spilled
While we tried to hold each other tight
Lying on the floor underneath our bed
Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs
We're broken
We're broken
Take another breath that we won't get back
Crashing to the ground all the photographs
So broken
So broken like us
All the words we'll leave unspoken
Scattered through the rooms we used to know
All the memories left frozen
Waiting for somebody else to find
Lying on the floor underneath our bed
Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs
We're broken
We're broken
Take another breath that we won't get back
Crashing to the ground all the photographs
So broken
So broken like us
You and I and no one else
While the world is falling down
And the sirens sing like bells
We're so high above this town
There's no use in crying for help
Will we ever make it out?
Only time or God will tell
But for now we'll hold each other tight
Lying on the floor underneath our bed
Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs
We're broken
We're broken
Take another breath that we won't get back
Crashing to the ground all the photographs
So broken
So broken like us
In a hundred years from now
Will this house be standing still?
With a couple looking out
From the broken window sills?
Will the bullet holes be gone?
Like the quiet life we built
Will they still remember us?
All the tears and blood we spilled
While we tried to hold each other tight
Lying on the floor underneath our bed
Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs
We're broken
We're broken
Take another breath that we won't get back
Crashing to the ground all the photographs
So broken
So broken like us
All the words we'll leave unspoken
Scattered through the rooms we used to know
All the memories left frozen
Waiting for somebody else to find
Lying on the floor underneath our bed
Hiding from the sound coming up the stairs
We're broken
We're broken
Take another breath that we won't get back
Crashing to the ground all the photographs
So broken
So broken like us
