For as long, long as I can remember
It's been December
No sun, no summertime to treasure
We weren't grown

And every time that they told us
'Surrender, it will be better'
We just go holding on 'til forever
To what we know

Broken lover
Yes, I made you
Believe that I
Would be the one to heal you

And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I worry about you

For as long, long as she can remember
She wants it better
No home, no one there to protect her
All alone

And so she told me I was her center
Nothing could tempt her
I still roam
Just like her father left her, ooh, he left her

Broken lover
Yes, I made you
Believe that I
Would be the one to heal you

And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I worry about you

Kissing me back, you've been a good victim
You thought I was worth it, you act like I would listen
And maybe you were right at one point some day
I used to watched you treat the streets like a runway

I used to write with tears on your pretty painted face
Sign language on your back from the first taste
So when he whispers in your ear and you think of me
You wish I woulda treated you like you treated me

When you wake up from your dreams of the hallway
Sleep walking through the streets dressed in all gray
Making street lamps in the window pane
I worry from the second I learned your name

Everything in love is lies
But where was I last night?
And why don't you feel right?

Broken lover
Yes, I made you
Believe that I
Would be the one to heal you

And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I worry about you

Broken lover
Yes, I made you
Believe that I
Would be the one to heal you

And if you go now
Out that doorway
I won't say you're wrong
But you know that I worry about you
