Broken Flowers

Symmetry
There are battles to be won
And they rage within our hearts
They crash in like waves
As we try to keep our heads high
They form us and break us
And they surely leave their mark
And it's the decisions that we make
That sometimes break a heart

Thats when people you know
Turn into someone you knew
As we all strive for a better life
Promises made by big city lights
And thats when we all have to recognize
The obvious powers of honesty
And how disillusioning
A normal life can be
But it makes us come to terms
With who we really are
And where we wanna be
We all need words to live by
And someone who can make us feel alive

The stories our mothers told
And the few things that we cannot hold
We cannot hold our breath
Long enough to die

I ran away from a city that died
And ran away from a love run dry
And nothing has kept me there
My fate had been chosen
I ran away from a city that died
And ran away from a love run dry
And nothing has kept me there
My fate had been chosen

I wish I couldn't tell a lie
A heart so pure like a babies cry
Just one more look at my fathers eyes
I fill my empty heart with you
I don't need so much to stay alive
Just a bed, a room, and someone to kiss goodnight
These empty nights I cannot sleep
I fill my heart with you
I don't need so much to stay alive
Just a bed, a room, and someone to kiss goodnight
These empty nights I cannot sleep
I fill my heart with you

The stories our mothers told
And the few things that we cannot hold
We cannot hold our breath
Long enough to die

We don't choose death it chooses us
We don't look back, we take the ride
I don't need so much to stay alive
Just a bed, a room, and someone to kiss goodnight
To kiss goodnight
To kiss goodnight
To kiss goodnight

Erase
These chapters from your past
Sweet dreams die hard
Wipe away
These bitter tears from my face
All our hopes die last
Erase
These chapters from your past
Sweet dreams die hard
Wipe away
These bitter tears from my face
All our hopes die last

So take these splinters
Of my broken past
From my trembling hands
'Cause we cannot hold
Our breath
Long enough to die

'Cause we cannot hold
Our breath
Long enough to die
