Give the man a guitar and a flute and you have a symphony. Add a piano and sacred drums and you have Nicholas Gunn- at his best - always...
Broken
Nicholas Gunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fighting back the tears
It's like it never seems to find its bitter end
My broken heart
Doin its best part
Is this really ever making any sense?
I'm finding ways to make these days
Playlists made in a drunken haze
I'm fragile deep down in my soul
I'm lost, I'm hurt
Out of control
I feel like I am finally losing ground
And I - I
Want to be in love, with you again
And I - I
I'm feeling broken
Mmm
How can I
Ever find my way
When your light has left me walking in the dark
And how did we
Ever come to be
Less of what we wanted at the very start
I'm finding ways to better days
I'm getting by in a drunken haze
It's nothing that you'd ever care to hear
Just getting high is best I guess
Each day I miss
I must confess
Is one day less for me to have to fear
And I - I
Want to be in love, with you again
And I - I
I'm feeling broken
Mmm
And I - I
Want to be in love, with you again
And I - I
I'm feeling broken
Mmm
I'm feeling broken

Turning to drugs as a form of escape from the pain
Each day I miss
Painfully feeling the absence of a loved one

Admitting to the depth of the pain
Is one day less for me to have to fear
Seeing each day that passes as one day closer to healing
