Broken(Buckingham Live) - Tift Merritt

Once you were a straight shot a shiny quarter in a new slot
Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon
Then telling the truth got so hard
We were dancing in the backyard
Once I knew the end and the start
But now that’s through
Now you’re broken and you don’t understand
What is broken falls into place once again
Hand of kindness come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
So morning comes to clean up like nothing happened when your heart stopped
Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through
Just close your eyes for this long something’s mixed up and something’s gone
Only fingers can you count on and one leaves two
Now you’re broken and you don’t understand
What is broken falls into place once again
Hand of kindness come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
And it’s these most loved losses they are just old coin tosses
And these most loved losses are the hardest to carry
I wish I were a freeway laid out clearer than a bright day
I’d run wide open down this causeway like brand new
But I’m broken and I don’t understand
What is broken falls into place once again
Hand of kindness come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
But I’m broken and I don’t understand
What is broken falls into place once again
Hand of kindness come and gather me in like a rainstorm
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
I think I will break but I mend
