All My Favorite People

All my favorite people are broken
 Believe me
 My heart should know
 Some prayers are better left unspoken
 I just wanna hold you
 And let the rest go
 All my friends are part saint and part sinner
 We lean on each other
 Try to rise above
 We're not afraid to admit we're all still beginners
 We're all late bloomers
 When it comes to love
 All my favorite people are broken
 Believe me
 My heart should know
 Orphaned believers, skeptical dreamers
 Step forward
 You can stay right here
 You don't have to go
 Is each wound you've received
 Just a burdensome gift?
 It gets so hard to lift
 Yourself up off the ground
 But the poet says, We must praise the mutilated world
 We're all workin' the graveyard shift
 You might as well sing along
 All my favorite people are broken
 Believe me
 My heart should know
 (As for) your tender heart—
 This world's gonna rip it wide open
 It ain't gonna be pretty
 But you're not alone
 'Cause all my favorite people are broken
 Believe me
 My heart should know
 Orphaned believers, skeptical dreamers
 You're welcome
 Yeah, you're safe right here
 You don't have to go
 'Cause all my favorite people are broken
 Believe me
 My heart should know
 Some prayers are better left unspoken
 I just wanna hold you
 And let the rest go
