Broken From The Start

Life is a gift like fresh cut roses
 Cut from the branch and brought inside
 It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase
 When our cords are cut that's when we start to die
 Lately death and life get so confusing
 I can't tell the difference here tonight
 But lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death
 And when time is dead I cease to be alive
 If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside
 In time you've got nothing left to hide, there's nothing left inside
 Tonight honey I'm gonna break your heart
 Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start
 Choice is the only thing we're given
 For one to live another dies
 One road says hello, the other says goodbye
 And the rose that you don't choose begin to die
 If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside
 In time you've got nothing left to hide, it dries up inside
 Tonight honey I'm gonna break your heart
 Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start
 Broken from the start, broken from the start
 They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing
 They might pay a little to hear you cry
 If you do it long enough they might even pay attention
 But they still won't pay respect until you die, die
 If you hide yourself deep inside, deep inside
 In time you've got nothing left to hide, it's all dead inside
 Tonight honey I'm gonna break your heart
 Mine was broken from the start, broken from the start
