Broken Window

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw your shadow on the floor Through that broken window Cold air crawled in through the frame And shook the half-made glow Your ring still sits in the sink Like it never meant a thing I keep picking up the shards From the place you used to be [Pre-Chorus] Now the room won’t hold us right Every corner says your name I can patch up the edges But I can’t erase the stain [Chorus] Broken window, broken window Tell me where the whole thing went Broken window, broken window I can’t bring back what you spent I keep reaching for the feeling But it slips right through my hands Broken window, broken window We don’t fit like we used to stand [Verse 2] I traced the crack with my thumb Like a map to somewhere else There’s a card on the table That I never sent myself Your boots by the door still wait Like they know you’ll walk back through But the lock was changed last Friday And the sky won’t turn brand new [Pre-Chorus] Now the room won’t hold us right Every corner says your name I can patch up the edges But I can’t erase the stain [Chorus] Broken window, broken window Tell me where the whole thing went Broken window, broken window I can’t bring back what you spent I keep reaching for the feeling But it slips right through my hands Broken window, broken window We don’t fit like we used to stand [Bridge] If I nail the frame tonight Would that make us whole again? Or is healing just a house Built around what won’t mend? [Final Chorus] Broken window, broken window Tell me where the whole thing went Broken window, broken window I can’t bring back what you spent I keep reaching for the feeling But it slips right through my hands Broken window, broken window I learned how to let it stand
