When Broken Is Easily Fixed - Silverstein

I can resist everything

Except temptation

My body breaks, I’m intact inside

My human instinct, I can love unconditionally

Cross my heart and lie to you

(My conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair)

Failure within me

Promise you and let you down

(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself)

Brings me to my knees

Follow me, lead you astray

(Nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail)

Loathe myself to sleep

Your words kill me

You can breathe without oxygen

And live without sorrow

How I envy you, though pity your ghost

Ignorance is bliss

I wish I could never love you

Cross my heart and lie to you

(My conscience plagues at me, fills me with this despair)

Failure within me

Promise you and let you down

(Emotion conquers my soul, robs me of myself)

Brings me to my knees

Follow me, lead you astray

(Nourish myself with fear, give me the pain to fail)

Loathe myself to sleep

Your words kill me

So ironic that a heart made by man

When broken is easily fixed

But a human hurt can last a lifetime

Rust or decay

The fire or the flame

You and I will lead the path to change

(Pave the way)

Rust or decay

The fire or the flame

You and I will lead the path to change

(Pave the way)

Rust or decay

The fire or the flame

You and I will lead the path to change

(Pave the way)
