broken
If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding, I'll call it my wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains If I am drifting, then I can fight it If I am sinking, no-one will know it If I am blinded I'll have my voices still to guide me If they yet fled away I'd bless the silence But if you leave me then I am broken.
