Broken From The Start Lyrics - Limbs And Branches - Jon Foreman

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 death and life get so confusing 

I can't tell the difference here tonight 

But lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death 

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
