Broken by the Voices

[Intro, Smooth electric piano] [Verse 1] Every night, I waited for your call You built your walls, I watched them fall They told you things you wanted to believe But baby, love ain’t make-believe [Chorus] Oh, you let them break us down Turned my heaven into battleground You could’ve had a fire, but you chose the rain Now I’m broken by the voices, left with the pain [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] I see your shadow in the empty frame Your echo still whispers my name You said you needed time to breathe But you never came back to me [Chorus] Oh, you let them break us down Turned my heaven into battleground You could’ve had a fire, but you chose the rain Now I’m broken by the voices, left with the pain [Bridge, Emotional build] You never saw the light I gave Too busy digging your own grave I’d have stayed through all your fears But you drowned me in their tears [Bridge, Saxophone solo] (Instrumental interlude) [Verse 3] All your friends, they had their say They stole your heart and walked away You followed fear, not what was true Now I’m the ghost that’s haunting you [Final Chorus, Gospel backing vocals] Oh, you let them break us down Turned my heaven into battleground You could’ve had a fire, but you chose the rain Now I’m broken by the voices, left with the pain [Outro, Slow fade] Now I’m broken… Broken by the voices again…
