I. Breaking Lyrics

I'm a broken man

A piece is all you see

To a bigger plan

That I've slowly hacked away at

And all that I can do

Is look at who I could have been

Reflect on who I am

And how I got here

And why I'm still here

How could you love me

When all I have to give

Are disappointments

How did I learn to live

In this wreckage of myself

A ghost of what I could have been

My city sleeps in ruins

And my ghost lives here

So why am I still here

I know I'm broken

But will you take all of me

Take what's left of me

And I know you're hurting

But maybe it's heartbreak to blame

For leading me straight to your arms

Why am I okay

When nothing of myself

Remains for you

Remains for you

And why do I settle

For mediocrity

When you deserve my best

And my best just isn't good enough

Not good enough

Good enough

I know I'm broken

But will you take all of me

Take what's left of me

And I know you're hurting

But maybe it's heartbreak to blame

For leading me straight to your arms
