Broken I Love You's
Fractured pictures, torment my thoughts
Minute moments from many years gone by
Fleeting images, dreams of sorts
Break through my defenses to make me cry
Tiny person, a babe in arms
Small, defenseless yet putting up a fight
Already subjected to harm
My eyes close quickly to drown out the sight
Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams
Sad times that can't be unwritten
Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears
Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years
Scowling faces, bruised and grazed knees
Regret and remorse for all that I've done
Frustrated failures everyone sees
Raw emotion from losing a loved one
Finding first love, losing it fast
Desperate to fit in, trying last resorts
Despair when friendships never last
Disappointing results from school reports
Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams
Sad times that can't be unwritten
Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears
Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years
Leaving home to seek out new dreams
Struggling to rise to expectations
Finding that things aren't as they seemed
Facing mounting trials and tribulations
Money's tight there's never enough
Marriage on the rocks where will this all end
Misery as times are so tough
Back on my own again without a friend
Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams
Sad times that can't be unwritten
Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears
Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years
I've lived a true and honest life
Been both a lover and a wife
I took the smooth with the rough
For life is life, sometimes it's tough
Memories pressed between the pages of our dreams
Sad times that can't be unwritten
Bound into volumes worn smooth from our own tears
Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years
Broken "I love you's" unspoken through the years
