Broken Lyrics - Please - Matt Nathanson

How ironic it all seems because I remember you 

telling me 

about other lovers running out of words to say to each other 

and how beautiful you thought it was and I agreed that 

would never happen to you and me 

so here we sit in silence, searching our heads for common ground 

we've rehashed the past and beaten it down 

left us with nothing, no present, no future 

I still read your letter and all that evil makes me sick 

But this is regimented pain and it gives me the illusion 

that I have lived 

I was the one that pushed you off the pedestal I put you on 

And with my arms still outstretched I watched you fall 

And break apart like glass on the highway 

I realized my mistake a bit too late because I'd never risk 

picking up the pieces, 

look at them all 

I'd never risk picking up all those goddamn pieces 

because I lose control at the site of my own blood 

I still read your letter, and all that bullshit makes me sick 

But this is regimented pain and it gives me the illusion that I have lived
