Broken Road

So it looks as if the game is up Find another way to fill your cup We try to talk but it keeps breaking up How long ago those carefree days How did I want you let me count the ways How did we end up in this place Oh but it's a broken road Here beneath the fairytales we're told Just give me something that I can hold onto Far above the rocks and clay Hidden in the cracks of everyday Tell me love will find its way on through 'Cos when it's gone It's just a broken road we're on We underestimate how hard the climb But we are stronger now and there's still time With your hand held in mine so tight How many lifetimes will it take How many hearts are bound to break As we make the same mistakes again Oh but it's a broken road Here beneath the fairytales we're told Just give me something that I can hold onto 'Cos when it's gone It's just a broken road we're on Another blank upon the camera roll Another truth-free TV show Another billion pounds won't save your soul Well now's the time we've got to get this right It's touch and go but I think we might If we fumble for the light they stole When there's a mountain standing in the way And you can't believe a single word they say We've got to stand for truth and justice anyway Hey but it's a broken road Here beneath the fairytales we're told Just give me one thing that I can hold onto Far above the rocks and clay Hidden in the cracks of everyday Tell me love will find its way on through 'Cos when it's gone It's just a broken road we're on
