Broken Lyrics - Laurie Anderson

You say: Where have you been? 

I say: Nowhere 

You say: There, you're doing it again 

You know I can't keep, I can't keep 

I can't keep doing this 

I wanted our life to be so sweet 

To live on harmony 

But there are so many things 

You just don't want to hear anymore from me 

You know I can't keep doing this, I can't keep, 

I can't keep doin' this 

Where did it go, the heat? 

I can't keep doin' this 

I wanted to tell you so many things 

But I lost my voice somewhere along the way 

I think to myself where did it go? 

Maybe it lives somewhere 

Outside the city and it's waiting for me there 

All I have to do is say the word 

And it will come back to me, it will come back to me 

But I can't even recall 

How to ask something as big as that 

You say: What are you thinking now? 

I say: Nothing 

You say: There, you're doing it again 

How did you get to be my conscience? 

You know I can't keep, I can't keep 

I can't keep doing this 

Where did it go, the heat? 

Silence can be a beautiful thing 

But only when it can by broken by a kind word 

With a soft word 

With a word 

Our love unspoken 

Our love lies broken
