Broken By Design

[Verse 1] Someone screaming in the next room You’re talking loud but I’ve heard this before Scattered empty cans, mask of a fake smile I see the boredom hidden in your eyes I check the time, it’s only half past ten We’re making circles ‘round the block again The modern age is just a waiting game I lost the rules, and I forgot your name [Pre-Chorus] I said I’d meet you at the corner store Twenty minutes late, maybe three or four You got that look, the one that cuts me deep Whatever, darling, talk is getting cheap [Chorus] It’s not perfect, but it’s what we got A little broken in the parking lot We’re wasting time and feeling fine In the golden hour, crossing every line I don’t want the truth, I don’t need a sign Just walking through the dusk, doing time Yeah, we’re doing fine [Verse 2] Television tells me how to feel None of this is fake, none of this is real You fix your hair inside the window glass Watching all the pretty people pass I guess I like the way you don't pretend To be my lover or my only friend The city hums a quiet lullaby For everyone who’s too afraid to cry [Bridge] Stop trying to fix it... Stop trying to fix it... It’s broken by design Yeah, it’s broken by design Stop trying to fix it! Stop trying to fix it! It’s broken by design Yeah, it’s broken by design!! [Chorus] It’s not perfect, but it’s what we got A little broken in the parking lot We’re wasting time and feeling fine In the golden hour, crossing every line I don’t want the truth, I don’t need a sign Just walking through the dusk, doing time Yeah, we’re doing fine
