I can tell you were something else, once upon a time
Years of dust left you covered up, underneath you still shine
I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty
I'm gonna roll up my sleeves, I'm gonna make you believe
People these days throw things away
At the first sign of trouble, at the first sign of trouble
Then they wander around wondering how
They're surrounded by all that rubble, surrounded by all that rubble
Let them run off searching for something clean and new
I prefer broken things like me and you
Don't feel alone because we're everywhere
Hearts in need of a little repair
I bet you're tired of that heavy load you carry with you
Wherever you go
Let me help you lay it down
All that devastation in your past
We'll watch it shatter just like glass
Leave it there on the ground
I can't erase your scars or keep you from hurting
What if it's enough to start with a gentle touch
People these days throw things away
At the first sign of trouble, at the first sign of trouble
Then they wander around wondering how
They're surrounded by all that rubble, surrounded by all that rubble
Let them run off searching for something clean and new
I prefer broken things like me and you
Don't feel alone because we're everywhere
Hearts in need of a little repair
I see the promise, not the faded glory
I'll stitch you back together and you can do the same for me
People these days throw things away
At the first sign of trouble, at the first sign of trouble
Then they wander around wondering how
They're surrounded by all that rubble, surrounded by all that rubble
Let them run off searching for something clean and new
I prefer broken things like me and you
Don't feel alone because we're everywhere
Hearts in need of a little repair
