Broken from the Start

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Life is a gift like fresh cut roses<br/>Cut from the branch and brought inside<br/>It&#x27;s a slow contradiction, it&#x27;s beauty in a vase<br/>When our cords are cut, that&#x27;s when we start to die<span><br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>Lately death and life get so confusing<br/>I can&#x27;t tell the difference here tonight<br/>Lately every breath, feels like I&#x27;m kissing death<br/>And when time is dead, I cease to be alive<br/><br/>[Chorus 1]<br/>If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside<br/>In time you&#x27;ve got nothing left to hide, there&#x27;s nothing left inside<br/>Tonight, honey, I&#x27;m gonna break your heart<br/>Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start<br/>[Verse 3]<br/>Choice is the only thing we&#x27;re given<br/>For one to live, another dies<br/>One road says hello, the other says goodbye<br/>And the rose that you don&#x27;t choose begins to die<br/><br/>[Chorus 2]<br/>If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside<br/>In time you&#x27;ve got nothing left to hide, it dries up inside<br/>Tonight, honey, I&#x27;m gonna break your heart<br/>Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start<br/>Broken from the start, broken from the start<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<br/>They won&#x27;t pay a cent to hear you laughing<br/>They might pay a little to hear you cry<br/>If you do it long enough, they might even pay attention<br/>But they still won&#x27;t pay respect until you die, die<br/><br/>[Chorus 3]<br/>If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside<br/>In time you&#x27;ve got nothing left to hide, it&#x27;s all dead inside<br/>Tonight, honey, I&#x27;m gonna break your heart<br/>Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start
