Broken – Lifehouse

February 10, 2008 at 11:26 am (Life Lyrics)

Another one of the many songs I’ve wanted to dedicate to the person I had fallen for.
I just wanted to let her know the my heart is becoming heavier each day, waiting for her response. And this is going to be a tribute to how I feel inside, how I feel about her. And just to let her know that I am still holding onto her even though this hurts so much. I will be waiting for you … no matter what, till the day I break down. Completely.

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you’ve already figured out
[Yeah, I am damaged, I am hurt, happens to someone who has been waiting for so long and making his patience takes it's toll]
I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
With a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on, I’m holdin’ on
I’m barely holdin’ on to you
[Without you, I am nothing. I am holding on, for you.]
The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I’m an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they’re still looking for life
[I'm still looking for you. I'm vulnerable. Though you may or may not see me the way I see you, You're the reason my life goes on.]
I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain (in the pain), there is healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning

So I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’)
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

I’m hangin’ on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I’m hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

[Another day, even today, even tomorrow and the day after. The response I have so been looking forward to, may it be a good one. Hoping your words last forever.]

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven’t forgotten my way home

[Without you, I am lost. I am scarred. I am alone.]

I’m falling apart, I’m barely breathing
with a broken heart that’s still beating
In the pain(In the pain) there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’),
I’m barely holdin’ on to you

I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’), I’m holdin’ on (I’m still holdin’),
I’m barely holdin’ on to you
