The nurse looked at you with a faraway look
There was no need to ask, it was like reading a book
Not everything's fixed like you're fixing a car
Things aren't broken, things just are
You saw her each day from her first in the world
On the day that she left it was like things had unfurled
But you planned it this way, she'll go find her star
Things aren't broken, things just are
The job was perfect as though made for you
You smiled and nailed the interview
The sorry came to you on your cell at the bar
Things aren't broken, things just are
The past is over and there was so much good
Tomorrow is might, and maybe and should
Today is now so play your guitar
Things aren't broken, things just are
Destiny's cold, it can be cruel to you
So take some time to enjoy the view
Your days may be short, your journey too far
But things aren't broken, things just are
But things aren't broken, things just are
