Matt Caplan - Broken Lyrics

Miscellaneous
Broken
It's not that I am hiding on the roof or underneath your table,
It's not that I am counting down from ten or playing hide and seek,
It's not that I am thinking of the past and consequently feeling older,
It's not like I'll inherit all the Earth if I destroy the meek,
It's not that I am special
It's not that I'm indifferent
It's not that I'm cowardly or vain
It's not that I am angry
And It's not that I'm violent
I don't objectify my pain

Oh, but I could break you if I wanted to be cruel to you and,
I could show the world your song.
Oh, I could break you if I wanted to, be cruel to you,
'Cause I was broken all along

It's not that I am folding up this chair and folding up my insight,
It's not that I respect you any less for giving someone more,
Oh, it's not that I regret the things I've done or anything I've planned to,
It's not like changing after we descend will justify before.
It's not that I am stupid
It's not that I'm scheming
It's not that I'm searching for a sign
It's not that I am righteous
And it's not that I'm unfeeling
I don't expect you to be mine

Oh, but I could break you if I wanted to be cruel to you and,
I could show the world your song
Oh, I could break you if I wanted to be cruel to you cause
I was broken all along

And the things you tell me don't mean a thing if you're not scared,
And turning your back on me won't leave me weak or unprepared.

Oh, oh, and I could break you if I wanted to be cruel to you
And I could show the world your song
Oh, I could break you if I wanted to be cruel to you cause
I was broken all along

It's not like every devastating end brings a new beginning
