Still Broken

(Jon T. Howard)

July 15, 2001

My lucky stars have fallen into shadows on the ground
How many times in life do we have to ride on this merry go round
Phantoms dancin’ in broken circles
Are you still out there for me or did you go somewhere?

Oh my heavy heart sinks a little lower every day
I just hope this feeling I have will someday fade away

I’m still broken and I miss you more each day
I’m still broken and I wonder if I’ll ever get my life back together again

Or is this the way it’s gonna be, you see I’m tired of this feeling
That just can’t be healed by too much caffeine
You know I smoke too many cigarettes and I’ve been known to have a few too many drinks
But I’ll try anything to relieve myself of all this self inflicted sympathy

Oh I just want to find myself a little peace
But I can’t seem to put the distance between me and you, no..oh...

Cause I’m still broken and I guess that’s the way it’s gonna be
I’m still broken baby and I just wanted you to know how much
How much you hurt me when you hurt me
When you broke my heart
I’m still broken and all I really need is for you to come on back...

I look at all the signs and the letters always seem to spell your name
You know I tried to forget you but everything never seemed to change
Oh no the way it did for you
You said you just need a little more time
But honey I never made that breakthrough

Oh what am I gonna do
I’m still hurting babe and I can’t seem to get over you

I’m still broken oh I’m really broken down
I’m still broken ever since you left
Ever since you left town
I’m still broken all my lucky stars have fallen down
I’m still broken and I need you more than ever now
You see I’m like an old car that’s out in a junkyard
All rusted and I can’t seem to get my motor running
I’m still broken and I guess that’s the way it’s gonna be
I’m still broken all I can do for your love is plead.....
