The Hearts of Our Broken - Slaves, Garret Rapp

Oh, this lump in my throat

It’s hard for me to speak

And your words mean less now

When you talk to me

All I ever wanted was a rush

Gave into my addictions when all I wanted was love

A few words spoken,

But I’m still broken (broken)

You left me bruised and broken in

My heart is black and blue

I stand alone on this lonely road

You left me bruised and broken in

My heart is black and blue

And every time that I look in my mirror

I give right into you

Broken people

Like you, like me

We are the ones who can’t ever seem

To carry on

For all the way

With all our holy peace

We know we should leave but why don’t we stay

You left me bruised and broken in

My heart is black and blue

I stand alone on this lonely road

You left me bruised and broken in

My heart is black and blue

And every time that I look in my mirror

I give right into you

I search for a new light

In these hard times

Throw caution to the wind

Every time they try to box me in

I search for a new light

In these dark times

Throw caution to the wind

When they box me in

You left me bruised and broken in

My heart is black and blue

I stand alone on this lonely road

You left me bruised and broken in

My heart is black and blue

And every time and every time that I look in my mirror

I give right into you
