Broken China

LOVE IS SUCH A FRAGILE THING

REAR AND FINE AS PORCALAIN

IT CAN BREAK SO EASILY

BUT IT'S HARD TO MEND

WE DIDN'T HOLD ON TIGHT ENOUGH

WHEN LINES WERE CROSSED WE LOST OUR TRUST

IT'S LIKE WE LET A PRECIOUS CUP

FALL FROM OUR HANDS

WE CAN PICK UP THE PIECES ONE BY ONE

WE CAN PICK UP THE PIECES ONE BY ONE

TRY TO UNDO THE DAMAGE DONE

TRY TO UNDO THE DAMAGE DONE

AND HOPE THAT THINGS WILL ONE DAY BE THE SAME

AND HOPE THAT THINGS WILL ONE DAY BE THE SAME

WE CAN GLUE US TOGETHER BIT BY BIT

WE CAN GLUE US TOGETHER BIT BY BIT

AND MAKE THE JAGGED EDGES FIT

AND MAKE THE JAGGED EDGES FIT

BUT THE SCARS WILL BE LIKE CRACKS THAT REMAIN

BUT THE SCARS WILL BE LIKE CRACKS THAT REMAIN

ON BROKEN CHINA

ON BROKEN CHINA

ON BROKEN CHINA

UNDER COVER OF THE DARK

WE LIE IN EACHOTHERS ARMS

AND FOR A MOMENT NOTHING'S WRONG AND WE'RE OKAY

BUT WHEN MORNING COMES THE SUN REVEALS

THERE ARE WOUNDS THAT HAVEN'T HEALED

WE REALIZE THEY NEVER WILL BUT STILL WE PRAY
