Jon Foreman - Broken From The Start lyrics

Life is a gift like fresh cut roses Cut from the branch and brought inside It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase When our cords are cut that's when we start to die Lately d**h and life get so confusing I can't tell the difference here tonight But lately every breath feels like I'm kissing d**h And when time is dead I cease to be alive If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide, there's nothing left inside Tonight honey I'm gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start Choice is the only thing we're given For one to live another dies One road says hello, the other says goodbye And the rose that you don't choose begin to die If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide, it dries up inside Tonight honey I'm gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start Broken from the start, broken from the start They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing They might pay a little to hear you cry If you do it long enough they might even pay attention But they still won't pay respect until you die, die If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide, it's all dead inside Tonight honey I'm gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start
