For as long, long as I can remember
It’s been December, no sun,
No summertime to treasure, we weren’t grown
And every time that they told us, “Surrender, it will be better”
We just go holding on* to forever for what we know

Broken lover, yes, I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now, out that doorway
I won’t say your wrong
But you know that I’ll* worry about you

For as long, long as she can remember
She wanted better, no home
No one there to protect her, all alone
And so she told me I was her center
Nothing could tempt her
I still roamed- just like her father left her
Ooo, he left her

Broken lover, yes, I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now, Out that doorway
I won’t say your wrong
But you know that I’ll worry about you

Isn’t it bad, you been a good victim
You thought I was worth it, you act like I would listen
And maybe you were right at one point, someday
I use to watch you treat the streets like a runway
I use to write with tears on your pretty painted face

Sign language on your back from the first taste
So when he whispers in your ear and you think of me
You wish I would’ve treated you like you treated me
When you wake up from your dreams of the hallway
Sleepwalking through the streets dressed in all gray
Making streetlamps in the windowpane
I worried from the second I learned your name

Everything in love is life
But where was I last night?
And why don’t you feel right?

Broken lover, yes, I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now, Out that doorway
I won’t say your wrong
But you know that I’ll worry about you

Broken lover, yes, I made you
Believe that I would be the one to heal you
And if you go now, Out that doorway
I won’t say your wrong
But you know that I’ll worry about you
