Broken Love

Two people who are used to love that's broken
Broken pieces, shattered love pieces all over the floor
Is the love real?, are we too in touch with our emotions?
Are we heading towards happiness or getting closer to war?

I took her to kiss land as it was the weekend
Told her there's always beauty behind the madness
I hope to take away her sadness
But at the same time, it'll be difficult cause I'm still bleeding

I've been hurt so many times before, I always have my guard up
It's hard to fake a smile when your heart's crushed
But its the best thing to do, don't let the world see you weak
And you related to what I said, so maybe you're the girl that I need

I promise to protect you and make you feel safe
Because you're the only one who can make heaven feel like a real place
But could you put up with me when my Bipolar changes my moods?
It makes me go distant and I may not be able to fully communicate with you

Depression makes me feel like I should avoid people and stay alone
When you call me, I may not always answer my phone
But I'll love you with my big heart if you let me
As long as you understand there's a difference between if you have me or if you get me

If you get it, you get it, no need for me to explain it
We both need to contribute to the picture being painted
Sometimes depression makes it hard for me to open up
But I know we can create something beautiful out of our broken love
