Lyrics
Broken Idol
Shape me into what you want to feel
Turn me into what you want to see
I?ll take it all and turn it back so sweetly
That we?ll believe it?s what we want to be
We?ll walk in step and watch the grasses sway
And all that time we?ll start to melt away
As if the ending seemed a bit too easy
I wonder would it happen anyway?
I can return the title
But I can?t replace your broken idol
My shoulder is here to cry on
But I can?t replace what you relied on
And so I turned it all to smoke and ash
And what got burned you know could never last
So now the stars at night are so much clearer
We know the darkest nights have come and passed
And I can see what?s standing in the mirror
I know the darkest nights have come and passed
Chorus
