I came to life on a page, one day
Watched my writer, with eyes open wide
He gave me meaning, oh, something to say
To share the madness he kept there inside

The best things are broken, don't you know?
Maybe like hearts long ago
Won't you listen once?
Find what I'm made of
I'll only hurt you for the sake of love
I'll only hurt you

I's left here on the cutting room floor
Songs like me just don't make the air
So I have to warn you what you're headin' toward
You've gotta give until you just don't care

The best things are broken, don't you know?
Maybe like hearts long ago
Won't you listen once?
Find what I'm made of
I'll only hurt you for the sake of love

The best things are broken, don't you know?
Maybe like hearts long ago
Won't you listen once?
Find what I'm made of
I'll only hurt you for the sake of love
I'll only hurt you
I'll only hurt you for the sake of love
