The Broken View - Too Soon

 

Art is a lie
Nothing is real
A waste of my time
I don't want to feel
Anything that doesn't
Make me feel alive

I'm waking up dead
With ghosts in my bed
Wishing my world would start again
If I knew what this meant
Maybe I could stop
Yeah

Oh, and then you call me last night
Wondering how I'm doing fine
I guess maybe where I stand is
A better place than here

Baby, it's a long way down
Maybe we said goodbye
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why
We're shouting out but can't make sound
Another lame excuse and we're out of time
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why

But in the real world
You say, I don't have to waste my time
Lay it out now, get in
And get out of this town
Oh, and then you call me last night
Wondering how I'm doing fine
I guess maybe where I stand is
A better place than here

Baby, it's a long way down
Maybe we said goodbye
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why
We're shouting out but can't make sound
Another lame excuse and we're out of time
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why

And then you call me last night
Wondering how I'm doing fine

Baby, it's a long way down
Maybe we said goodbye
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why
We're shouting out but can't make sound
(No, we can't make sound)
Another lame excuse and we're out of time
(We're out of time)
Too soon to make up our own minds
Oh, why 

The Broken View - Us

  

Under from wherein lies our amazement
Is where we fell out of love
Come now, to where we grieve in stages
Before the daylight comes

Maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you're waiting for

Some nights, I dream about the old days
I put my phone down, honey
Pick myself back up again
If our love's just a crack in the pavement
Another step might curb
The overestimation

Maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you're waiting for

"And I still love you, don't you understand?"
"Then do me a favor, will you? Leave."
"Go away, go away someplace before I ruin your life
As well as my own."
"It's you and me. Out of everybody in the world. Us"
"We'll get out of it. We'll make them understand
Just how it was."

And maybe in time
We could get tired of adding up
Every dime
Just to find worth in this
Or you can tell me what you're waiting for

Tell me what you're waiting for

The Broken View - You And Me Now

 

How do I begin to understand you
I feel lost and out of air to breathe
And if I could comprehend what you've been through
I'd see the world through eyes adept in deceit

It's you and me now on the rebound out
And you say
You love me now you won't leave out loud
I know you're only trying to spare me the pain somehow
It's you and me now on the rebound out

You say I'm a mess, you say I'm selfish
But all I ever wanted was your love
And still we try when all feels helpless
I guess that I was never enough

It's you and me now on the rebound out
And you say
You love me now you won't leave out loud
I know you're only trying to spare me the pain somehow
It's you and me now on the rebound out

Another moment
Another moment
Another moment
All I've asked of you
Another moment
Another moment
Another moment
There's nothing left to do

It's you and me now on the rebound out
And you say
You love me now you won't leave out loud
I know you're only trying to spare me the pain somehow
It's you and me now on the rebound out
Rebound out 

The Broken View - The Fall (❤️)

 

I see myself
Colliding into doubt
And only time will tell
If I have what it takes to make this one count

So how can I just look you in your eyes and tell a lie
After all there's nothing left to hide
But fear can only measure how hard you break
It's a give and take
So make up your mind

Cause I don't want to hurt you anymore
I think I've fallen harder than ever before
And if I can't have you then I can have myself to blame
Because I know we'll never be the same
If only I could hold you for one more night
Just know that I would for those few seconds it feels like you are mine

And still I try my best
Oh, just to face the fact that I can never take a back a god damn thing
But you got to stay proud of the life you live
When you've really nothing left to give
A fixed image cannot erase
All the love that you've misplaced

Cause I don't want to hurt you anymore
I think I've fallen harder than ever before
And if I can't have you then I can have myself to blame
Because I know we'll never be the same
If only I could hold you for one more night
Just know that I would for those few seconds it feels like you are mine

And all along the fault was my own
There's not a second of a memory that I don't recall
Even if you've lost your faith in me
Promise to never lose your faith in the life you seek

And all along the fault was my own
There's not a second of a memory that I don't recall
Even if you've lost your faith in me
Promise to never lose your faith in the life you seek

Cause I don't want to hurt you anymore
I think I've fallen harder than ever before
And if I can't have you then I can have myself to blame
Because I know we'll never be the same
If only I could hold you for one more night
Just know that I would for those few seconds it feels like you are mine 

 

The Broken View - The Fall (Again & Again)

The Broken View - Something Better (Again & Again)

 

 In all this desperation I fear there's nothing I could say
To win this fight
Cause you hesitate much more than I could ever estimate
And that's alright
Cause I'm not insane, I'm only a fool for you
But I couldn't stay away, yeah even if I wanted to
So what am I supposed to do

You don't have to be the one to lose
You don't have to be the one to tell a lie
You don't have to be the one to choose
You don't have to be the one to say goodbye
And I don't have to be the one to take all this
Time you've wasted being dishonest
But I will not be the one who never got the chance to change your mind

Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn, to watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get to see this through
My eyes before I believe in something better than you

I'm all out of life, babe
It's all gone sideways
Tell me, how can I keep this a secret
When you couldn't either
It's funny how we ended up here
So fucked up and full of fear

You don't have to be the one to lose
You don't have to be the one to tell a lie
You don't have to be the one to choose
You don't have to be the one to say goodbye
And I don't have to be the one to take all this
Time you've wasted being dishonest
But I will not be the one who never got the chance to change your mind

Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn, to watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get to see this through
My eyes before I believe in something better than you

Believe in something better than you
Believe in something better than you

Again I'm all alone and left without a reason
To hope you learn, to watch you turn a blind eye to a feeling
So this is the only chance that you'll get to see this through
My eyes before I believe in something better than you

Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you
Something better than you, something better than you
Something better than you
Believe in something better than you 

 

The Broken View - All I Feel Is You (Up!)

 

I lay down
In your eyes
In your arms
With your lies
I forgive
But never forget
Do you feel
No regret?

And it's been so long since I could say
Oh, that I have felt so close yet so far away
I stumble as the world surrounds me
I cannot help myself
I feel it every time my heart beats for you
And no one else

And you are a beautiful disaster
But our love has faded faster
Than we could ever understand
That blood is on your hands
And I felt the end was upon us
Sooner than your honesty
Can you feel me?
Bleeding memories of your ghost
It hurts for a moment but then it just goes

Feeling into all your lies another fucking excuse
Leaves me with alibis
Deceiving me again and again
I'm not asking you to feel an ounce of guilt
I'm evening the odds on my own terms
Using the hand you've dealt

There's nothing left to lose
All I feel is you
And now there's nothing left to prove
All I feel is you

And it's been so long since I could say
Oh, that I have felt so close yet so far away
I stumble as the world surrounds me
I cannot help myself
I feel it every time my heart beats for you
And no one else 

 

The Broken View - In Too Deep

 

Desperate
Momentarily absent
If only we could forfeit
Our minds and our bodies
For sometimes more fucking precious
Like the time you waste
To make an about-face
And never change anything about yourself

Bury this hope
In theory I cope

We fall in too deep
No coming up for air now
The walls begin to speak
In words we can understand now

Faced with
A real reason to get out of bed
If only I wasn't so vacant
I would know what to do with my heart
And all the holes in it

You can do so much better than you ever knew
Heed the truth when the pressure gets the better of you
Push it out like a splinter underneath your skin
Scream and shout 'til your lungs give out what you keep in

We fall in too deep
No coming up for air now
The walls begin to speak
In words we can understand now

Bury this hope
In theory I cope

We fall in too deep
No coming up for air now
The walls begin to speak
In words we can understand now
(We can understand)

We fall in too deep
No coming up for air now
(No coming up for air now)
The walls begin to speak
(The walls begin to speak)
In words we can understand now
(In words we can understand)

 

The Broken View - Start Over (Live & Acoustic)

 

What's easy on the eyes
Weighs heavy on the heart
Not to my own surprise
It's been you from the start
But I felt it when you'd fall
Therein everything I love
And I'll be there when you call

Oh, at least I can say I tried
To make it right when all that I've done
Until now is lie
To you and to myself

And I won't forget what I told her
It feels like the stars collide when I hold her
But as you take the time
For you and yourself
It never occurs you may be hurting someone else
So I think it's time we start over

This point of no return
Don't know when, nor how or why
But it's the only way we learn
To understand it time

I know that it won't make things right
To say you're sorry
And for what it's worth I am
For you and for myself

And I won't forget what I told her
It feels like the stars collide when I hold her
But as you take the time
For you and yourself
It never occurs you may be hurting someone else
So I think it's time we start over

And I'd choke fire just to breathe you in
But you would never put me out
So tell me where should I begin
Should I begin

And I won't forget what I told her
It feels like the stars collide when I hold her
But as you take the time
For you and yourself
It never occurs you may be hurting someone else
So I think it's time we start over

The Broken View - Breaking The Habit (Linkin Park cover)

 

Memories consume like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
'Cause inside, I realize that I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
