🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
  • And I don't feel like I am strong enough
  • 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome

Sing it again — final chorus

  • 'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
  • And I don't feel like I am strong enough
  • 'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
  • And I don't feel right when you're gone away
causebrokendon't
