Broken String

Marcelo Lanna


I started breathing and thinking
Maybe just one of those
(And) So I came back to me
Eyes were holden closed
I had hope
That again you would be right beside me
Looking out of my world
Dreams are just too high for the weak
People look down and see all the dust
Left behind by the ones working harder than us
I gave up
Watching ants and the way that the grass grows
Dust wasn't there, grass and ants were gone
So was I
Couldn't see the happiness of your skin
Couldn't taste the flavor of my baby looking at me
I looked back
And I heard that shining smile in you mouth
I saw you didn't move on
And I couldnt help you out
You know that took me down

And then I stand up again
I want to fight for you
But you don't want to be fought for
You just wanna lose
You know that
Anyway you're the stone holding still
I am the one that doesnt care, wanna move and I will
Go away

Giving up is no act, it's the lack of an action
You got nothing to say
That's just a heavy deception
You pushed me up
Now you're pulling me down
So I thank you a lot, but I'm moving on 
With my life, in my way and the words of an elder
Forget what they say, they wanna have you to hold her
Your job is to go, not to carry her burden
So look at yourself, remember who took you that far
It was you, and you only

And then I stand up again
I want to fight for you
But you don't want to be fought for
You just wanna lose
You know that
You're the broken string in my first song
You're the night in the winter, gonna break my bones
Tonight

And then I stand up again
I want to fight for you
But you don't want to be fought for
You just wanna lose
You know that
Anyway you're the stone holding still
I am the one that doesnt care, wanna move and I will

And then I stand up again
I want to fight for you
But you don't want to be fought for
You just wanna lose
You know that
You're the broken string in my first song
You're the night in the winter, gonna break my bones
Tonight
