[Bridge:] Broken, broken Broken, broken Broken, broken The foundation's, The foundation's Broken, broken Broken, broken
[Verse 1:] I knew love could be a sunrise Make an old man see the world with young eyes Round each corner discover he lies Summertime, the world full of surprise Every sunset so it start setting in But you will never see morning again The flame that you had was now gone in the wind Start to get old, feel bored with your friend Your mind start to wander, your eyes start to follow And wind up on some young behind trying to holler The dudes that you think are your guys ain't trying to stop you They grab binoculars, sit back and watch the opra What she thought was hers you now share with another And you and something got a secret you keep from her Make her foolish for ever having trusted Overcoming your shortcomings cause she loves you
[Hook:] Such a beautiful dawn and we flow right along, so warm till the sun went down Can the day rise again? I'd wait, my friend, but I don't know how Don't want to leave but I don't want my demons to return and haunt this house The foundation's, The foundation's Broken
[Verse 2:] But you know it's dead wrong that I ain't never felt so right The heart and the mind, they don't always coincide Evil dig a ditch, he cover it with pride He come to webilize we weave to try and hide The truth is on a mission to make his way to the light It knows it has it's right to take flight The universal laws are too strong to fight One day it's going to set up shop in plain sight Time can ice the pain and try to hide the stain And glue it back together yet it's never quite the same Even if she forgives you, she decide to stay That memory live inside her until her dying day She goes through the pages of history with a heavy heart Scratching question marks next to all the precious parts Your best memories start to develop scars Would've never thought it'd ever fall apart but
[Hook]
[Verse 3:] I use to find a hiding place inside you tight embrace Now all I see in your face are my mistakes Too much time I done placed around snakes Saw the apple, had to know how it tastes I acted out of ego, acted out of lust Acted outside of the trust we had in us I acted out a scene from a film I had seen before Still casted myself in that leading role When I was finished playing, I stood there saying "See? " But there was no director yelling "Cut" to keep it clean The camera kept rolling and went behind the scenes The bonus material from the DVD The audience is watching, yelling at the screen Saying "Say it isn't so, please tell me it's just a dream" I use to be the gleam in your eye but that died out Now I'm that little streak of white in your eyebrow
