CThe broken clock is aAm comfort

CIt helps me sleep tAmonight

CMaybe it can stop toAmmorrow

CFrom stealing all mGy time

CAnd I am here still Amwaiting

CThough I still have Ammy doubts

CI am damaged at bAmest

CLike youve alreadyG figured out

CIm falling apart,

GIm barely breathing

AmWith a broken heart

CThatsG still beating

CIn the pain, there is Ghealing

AmIn your name, IC findG meaning

CSo Im holding on,

GIm holding on,

AmIm holding on,

CIm barely holdingG on to you

CThe broken locks were aAm warning

CYou got inside myAm head

CI tried my best to be Amguarded

CIm an open bookG instead

CAnd I still see your rAmeflection

CInside of my eyesAm

CThat are looking for purAmpose

CTheyre still looking for lifGe

CIm falling apart,

GIm barely breathing

AmWith a broken heart

CThatsG still beating

CIn the pain, there is Ghealing

AmIn your name, IC findG meaning

CSo Im holding on,

GIm holding on,

AmIm holding on,

CIm barely holdingG on to you

CIm hanging on, Ganother day

AmJust to see wChat, youll throw Gmy way

CIm hanging on to the Gword you say

AmYou said thCat I will, GIll be okay

CThe broken lights on theAm freeway

CHave left me herAme alone

CI may have lost my wAmay now

CHavent forgottenG my way home
