Текст песни The Broken Ones - Missy Higgins

I said it out loud 23 times
I'm not gonna make the same mistakes
I promised the river
Held my child and whispered in her hair
Life is not a poem, it's a war

And I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore
Anymore

I pay a stranger every two weeks
To repackage my thoughts for me
But now there's a razor between your lips
That kiss will make my heart unzip
And I want it like I need it

But I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones anymore
I'm not gonna fall for the ones like me
With darkness in their bellies
I'm not gonna fall for the broken ones
No, I'll be smarter from now on
So much smarter from now on

Two people trying to save each other
Only pulls them both further under
Don't waste your strength waving at me
I'm a life jacket made of concrete
Got darkness I've been trying to run from
Only thing keeping me sane are these songs
I don't want to touch the open skies
I just need a safe place to hide

Cos I don't wanna fall for the broken ones
The luminescent wild ones
The dancing on electric wire ones
Tumbling through the sky ones
Chasing the essential fire ones
The haunted agonised ones
The tortured juggling knives ones
Beautiful crazy-eyed ones
Death tugging at their mind ones

No, I'll be smarter from now on
So much smarter from now on
Only problem that I got now is
Who's gonna fall for this broken one
