lyrics
At that house in summer on your birthday
I could see it in your eyes that morning that something had changed
And despite the sunshine I wished it would rain
Because then maybe you wouldn’t leave me and never come back here
Back again
Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you
I was happy being there for you
Broken boy, I had so much to give you
But I didn’t think you’d break me too
I would’ve waited for you however long it would take
I saw your heart when it was open and I saw my own heart break
But before you leave here please let me see your face
There’s nothing to do, nothing to say
But I still dream of you any, anyway
Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you
I was happy being there for you
Broken boy, I had so much to give you
But I didn’t think you’d break me too
But for the first time I see trees burning and I’m still standing
And I wish you love more than anything
Although I’ll never see you again
Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you
I was happy being there for you
Broken boy, I had so much to give you
I would’ve gone with you wherever you’d go
Broken boy, you know I still miss you
But I didn’t think you’d break me too
I could see it in your eyes that morning that something had changed
And despite the sunshine I wished it would rain
Because then maybe you wouldn’t leave me and never come back here
Back again
Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you
I was happy being there for you
Broken boy, I had so much to give you
But I didn’t think you’d break me too
I would’ve waited for you however long it would take
I saw your heart when it was open and I saw my own heart break
But before you leave here please let me see your face
There’s nothing to do, nothing to say
But I still dream of you any, anyway
Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you
I was happy being there for you
Broken boy, I had so much to give you
But I didn’t think you’d break me too
But for the first time I see trees burning and I’m still standing
And I wish you love more than anything
Although I’ll never see you again
Broken boy, I didn’t want to fix you
I was happy being there for you
Broken boy, I had so much to give you
I would’ve gone with you wherever you’d go
Broken boy, you know I still miss you
But I didn’t think you’d break me too
