Broken People

VERSE 1

Do we tend to break because we're made that way?

Do we share the same fate with a different name?

What if the life they gave wasn't ours to take?

What if the choices we make are just a tape on replay?

Okay, well let's go back to the start

To look inside the first times things we're falling apart

The darker parts of my hearts, came from a house full of pain

Watched my dad walk away, why couldn't I do the same?

Do we inherit this pain? This sadness and rage?

Mom drowned in a bottle just to cope with her pain

What if I'll be the same, while I'm hoping for change

Never learning the lesson, we're just shifting the blame

Isn't it one and the same if we pass it along?

With the way we were raised, can't tell right from wrong

When the choices are gone, the lines are blurry to see

What if the person I hate is just a version of me?

 

CHORUS

Broken people break people

Making more broken people

Broken people break people

Round and round like a sequel

Now who's to blame

We can't lose the pain

Tell me, who's gon break these chains?

Broken people break people

Making more broken people

 

Thank you for sharing, but we must move on

We'd love to hear more, but it's just too long

And it's a bit too rude to cry like a newborn

We too feel screwed, but we're not whining in a song

Your dreams don't pay, so clock in, obey

Keep your feet on the ground, let life pass away

Oh, you think you're something special? Yeah, that's what they say

There's only one way, don't step out of place

And maybe someday I can be one of you

Just broken and bruised, hope stomped and abused

With nothing to lose, spewing thoughts like it's true

Why is one man hope so offensive to you?

Maybe we keep wishing that things would really change

But the hate runs deep when its wired in your veins

A hand once beat is now quick to restrain

We can't find a way, so the cycle remains

cause

 

CHORUS

Broken people break people

Making more broken people

Broken people break people

Round and round like a sequel

Now who's to blame

We can't lose the pain

Tell me, who's gon break these chains?

Broken people break people

Making more broken people
