Matt Nathanson - Broken lyrics

How ironic it all seems
Because I remember you telling me
About other lovers running out of words
To say to each other
And how beautiful you thought it
Was and I agreed that
Would never happen to you and me
So here we sit in silence
Searching our heads for common ground
We've rehashed the past and beaten it down
Left us with nothing, no present, no future
I still read your letter and all
That evil makes me sick
But this is regimented pain and
It gives me the illusion that I have lived
I was the one that pushed you off
The pedestal I put you on
And with my arms still outstretched
I watched you fall
And break apart like glass on the highway
I realized my mistake a bit too


Late because I'd never risk
Picking up the pieces look at them all
I'd never risk picking up
All those goddamn pieces
Because I lose control at the
Site of my own blood
I still read your letter
And all that bullshit makes me sick
But this is regimented pain and it gives
Me the illusion that I have lived
