Verse

How could I claim to be the one
When all I feel is fake
And you say to me I mean the most
Then you run into the arms of another
And brokenness produces hurt
Like the blind leading the blind
This pain follows me everywhere

Would you put down your smoking gun
Exchange your knife for a new bouquet
Would you let go of all I am
You know I’m really not so great
And here I am believing these words
But you’ll never let me
Failure is not synonymous with my name

Chorus
So how can I get over this
When all I know is faulty
How can I be a man
When I’m still feeling like a boy [toy]
An d running away is all I’ve done
How can I turn and face you
Now
here

Verse
shattered hearts and broken dreams
this is really America
fighting for something we’ll never see
ideals that are so far beyond are reach
after all we only know how to be
were only human beings

so here you are thinking of me
wondering how it all went wrong
and here I am thinking gee
I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t
Feelings of love collide into a mess
Confusion is all I have left
I’ve lost everything I once had

Bridge
These are the chronicles
Of broken hearts
These are the tales
Of love once had and love once lost
The curse of infatuation
Hits us all
In the chronicles
Of broken hearts
