[Verse 1]
You promised me we'd always be fine, guess you lied
'Cause now the whole world can hear our silence
[Pre-Chorus]
And here we are, where we said we'd never be
You'd do anything for me
But how can you lift me up when you're on your knees?
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't want you, it's just I don't know how
To love you like I used to, so intense and so profound
And if I could change my feelings, I would forfeit all my bones
'Cause your love is worth a fortune, but my heart's already broke
[Verse 2]
You could never be second best, but second chances are to find
When you damage everything I had left
[Pre-Chorus]
And here we are, where we said we'd never go
And I know I've been so cold
But pushing you away is how I cope
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't want you, it's just I don't know how
To love you like I used to, so intense and so profound
And if I could change my feelings, I would forfeit all my bones
'Cause your love is worth a fortune, but my heart's already broke
[Bridge]
And if beggars can't be choosers, then I'm begging you to choose
And if lovers can't be losers, why do I always end up bruised?
[Chorus]
It's not that I don't want you, it's just I don't know how
To love you like I used to, so intense and so profound
And if I could change my feelings, I would forfeit all my bones
'Cause your love is worth a fortune, yeah, your love is worth a fortune, yeah
Those hardest to love need it most, but my heart's already broke
Lauren Aquilina released Broke on Mon Mar 10 2014.
“Haha! Broke is definitely very sad, really honest… and kind of lacking structure which I like. Also, the last line is actually the first line of Fools. I wanted people to really get the ‘full circle’ thing – that I was still writing about the same person.. sigh.”
