Song | Broken Window |
Artist | Mandi Perkins |
Album | Alice In No Man's Land |
Her body's empty | |
Her face is so small | |
And she thinks maybe | |
She shouldn't be blamed for it all | |
His hands are like giants | |
He can't feel a thing | |
He's stuck and defiant | |
What more could she bring | |
He takes her small hand | |
But she shakes her head | |
If he can't understand | |
He hasn't listened to what she's said | |
She's waited for this time | |
To let him down slow | |
But he's not taking her line | |
He won't let her go | |
Where did he go wrong? | |
He wants to know | |
He can't stand it | |
She's so calm | |
Chorus: | |
She's been waiting, | |
For a chance to break from the day | |
It's like banging your head | |
On a broken window pane, she explains. | |
She can't catch the light storm | |
The air has grown so stale | |
He has no choice | |
He has to go now | |
She turns her back now | |
So their eyes can't meet | |
And as he walks away | |
They're strangers in the street | |
His ears are bleeding | |
He can't hear a sound | |
She's lost now | |
And she can't be found | |
Where did he go wrong? | |
He wants to know | |
He can't stand it | |
She's so calm | |
Chorus: | |
Bridge: | |
I looked in the mirror to see | |
It's my face staring back now at me | |
How did I get here? | |
I am lost, I am choking | |
I am broken I am broken | |
Chorus: |
Her body' s empty | |
Her face is so small | |
And she thinks maybe | |
She shouldn' t be blamed for it all | |
His hands are like giants | |
He can' t feel a thing | |
He' s stuck and defiant | |
What more could she bring | |
He takes her small hand | |
But she shakes her head | |
If he can' t understand | |
He hasn' t listened to what she' s said | |
She' s waited for this time | |
To let him down slow | |
But he' s not taking her line | |
He won' t let her go | |
Where did he go wrong? | |
He wants to know | |
He can' t stand it | |
She' s so calm | |
Chorus: | |
