Song Lyrics

There's the clock that hangs on the wall
The hands don't move at all
They just point to the twelve and the nine
Where our love was lost in time
There's the phone that no longer rings
And a bird with no voice to sing
Ever since you gave me this broken heart
I've been collecting broken things

There's our house that's in disrepair
Like there's no one living there
All the curtains are torn and so thin
Still you can't see out or look in
There's a hope that no longer clings
And an angel that lost its wings
Ever since you gave me this broken heart
I've been collecting broken things

And this box right here contains
All the life that still remains
So many plans and beautiful dreams
Broken promises, we never will redeem

In the loneliness of my night
I reach over to turn on the light
But no light shines through the shade
Gone are the shadows it once made
There's a tomorrow with nothing to bring
An abandoned wedding ring
Ever since you gave me this broken heart
I've been collecting broken things

Ever since you gave me this broken heart
I've been collecting broken things
