Broken Places

Did you know me
Long ago
Were we close
Before the sorrow
If you thought of leaving any traces
I'll be sifting through the broken places

Did i know you
Once upon a time
You dreamed of me
And now i'm
Searching for myself in strangers' faces
Stumbling onto further broken places

She turns purple
Am i blue
Can't she fathom
What i do
Trying to get in her better graces
Touching her in all the broken places

I get crazy
Not sure why
Solace beckons
Until i
Go tearing off again on wild chases
Crashing into same old broken places

I am young so
Who's to say
But for now i
Have no way
Of knowing how much healing time erases
Certain of these secret broken places

Can't there be a
Little breather?
Our love is a
Real seether
To sore hearts we plead our hapless cases
Rendezvousing at the broken places

I love you for
All of this
Struggling towards
Happiness
When the chips are down we play our aces
Hiding them in our broken places
