The Roches - Broken Places lyrics

rate me

did you know me

long ago

were we close

before the sorrow

if you thought of leaving any traces

I'll be sifting through the broken places

did I know you

once upon a time

you dreamed of me

and now I'm

searching for myself in strangers' faces

stumbling onto further broken places

she turns purple

am I blue

can't she fathom

what I do

trying to get in her better graces

touching her in all the broken places

I get crazy

not sure why

solace beckons

until I

go tearing off again on wild chases

crashing into same old broken places

I am young so

who's to say

but for now I

have no way

of knowing how much healing time erases

certain of these secret broken places

can't there be a

little breather?

our love is a

real seether

to sore hearts we plead our hapless cases

rendezvousing at the broken places

I love you for

all of this

struggling towards

happiness

when the chips are down we play our aces

hiding them in our broken places
