Two Broken People
by on June 25, 2014 in Lyrics

I was warned that I’d be drawn to you
Before the night we met
That you were gonna lead me
To another mornin’ with regret
But we locked eyes and smiled
The minute you walked in
And then I knew
We were both in trouble
And we were gonna do everythin’
We shouldn’t do

So many late nights
Playin’ our favorite songs
Drinkin’ and slow dancin’
All the way to dawn
Cigarettes and secrets
And we were gone

I thought that you could
Save me from myself
I didn’t know
That two broken people
Don’t make a whole

You were my last distraction
And it was just a matter of time
Before I was gonna have to feel
What I held inside
One more man
Who wasn’t there
I picked ‘em out like that
So I could disappear
And together
We’d fade to black

Late nights
Playin’ our favorite songs
Drinkin’ and slow dancin’
All the way to dawn
Cigarettes and secrets
Ya turned the fire on
It was a freight train
With the breaks all gone
A high like that
It don’t last long
And it felt right but
It was all kinds a wrong

I thought that you could
Save me from myself
I didn’t know
That two broken people
Don’t make a whole

Oh oh oh… oh oh
Oh oh oh oh… oh

I thought that you could
Save me but I woke up
And now I know
That two broken people
Yeah two broken people
Don’t make a whole
