MAYBE I'M JUST A LITTLE BIT BROKEN
Richard Fairlie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t let go
No diamonds broke
You'll see I burrow
My feelings l own
And I wanna show ya
But I can′t offload
And wanna show ya
I just can't cope
And I wanna show ya
But I never grow
And I wanna show ya
I just can't cope

Maybe I′m just a little bit broken
Wounded it′s woven
Maybe I'm just way too introverted
Sharing is hopeless
Maybe I′ll never learn how it's spoken
Craving condolence
Maybe I′m just a little bit broken
Broken

I can't cry
I mean my tears take time
I feel hollow
Cause I set in lies
Why do I hold back help
Why do I distance self
Why do I hold back help
Why do I distance self

Maybe I′m just a little bit broken
Slow in the moment
Maybe I'm just way too introverted
Sharing needs focus
Maybe I'll never learn how it′s spoken
Craving condolence
Maybe I′m just a little bit broken
Broken

And I wanna show ya
But I can't offload
And wanna show ya
I just can′t cope
And I wanna show ya
That I try to grow
And I wanna show ya
I just can't cope

Maybe I′m just a little bit broken
Slow in the moment
Maybe I'm just way too introverted
Sharing needs focus
Maybe I′ll never learn how it's spoken
Craving condolence




Maybe I'm just a little bit broken
Broken
