I dreamed you up right in front of me I guess my eyes see what they want to see But loves a trip, it fucked me up, it took while to sober up I bought your reasons and I justified The way you talk to me like I'm a child To live like you, to live with you, to live in you, to take your side To take your side I tried to love you with a broken heart It burned me up inside But I'd rather love you with a broken heart Than to love you blind I could say I was the bigger man When all I did was let you run me dead And it grows in you, and sews in you Like water filled with bitter lead Till you fall apart I tried to love you with a broken heart It burned me up inside But I'd rather love you with a broken heart Than to love you blind I tried to love you with a broken heart Like it would heal in time But I'd rather love you with a broken heart Than to love you blind Pick up the pieces What's left of me lying on the floor Keep the body breathing We're better now, better that we're not pretending anymore I tried to love you with a broken heart It burned me up inside But I'd rather love you with a broken heart Than to love you blind I tried to love you with a broken heart Like it would heal in time But I'd rather love you with a broken heart Than to love you blind Than to love you blind Than to love you blind
