Broken Bracelet

Words and music by michelle branch & jenifer hagio

Your eyes they look so bright,
A funky flair in my appetite,
But there's no room for you,
My feet are on the ground,
And my head is in the clouds,
But you still can't break through,
Whatcha gonna do.

I'm not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
My feelings need to be said.

Flowing like water in a crimson melody,
The orange plastic sun is shining,
And the truth so hard to see,
The rain of your existence is falling down on me,
And the soap suds spread like a disease from my washing machine.

I'm not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
My feelings need to be said.

I'm not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for you,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
And i'm hoping that you'll make your next move,
That you'll make your next move...

I'm not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
My feelings need to be said.

I don't know whose side i'm takin',
But i'm not takin' things to well,
I can see inside you're ache'n,
But is it still too early for me to tell.

I try to help you out through the hardest of times,
Your heart is in your throat,
And i'm speaking my mind,
Though it looks as if it's over,
I'm still not over you,
If only she knew.

I try to let it go
But i don't know if i can take it,
Cause the way you looked at me made me see
That i can't really fake it.
I try to help you out through the hardest of times,
Your heart is in your throat,
And i'm speaking my mind,
Though it looks as if it's over,
I'm still not over you,
If only she knew.

I know she loves you and i can't interfere,
So i'll just have to sit back and watch my world disappear.

I try to help you out through the hardest of times,
Your heart is in your throat,
And i'm speaking my mind,
Though it looks as if it's over,
I'm still not over you,
Oh i'm still not over you,
If only she knew.

One less call to answer,
Feeling full of despair,
Don't think i can get through it,
Just one last prayer.

*and it's a leap of faith,
When you believe there's someone out there,
It's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
And when i call out to you,
Will you be right there,
Right there.

Searching for the answer,
Nobody seems to care,
Oh how i wish that you were here,
Beside me,
To wipe away my tears.

*and it's a leap of faith,
When you believe there's someone out there,
It's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
And when i call out to you,
Will you be right there,
Right there.

Waiting for the answer,
Remembering times we would share,
Somehow i feel you here beside me,
Even though your not there.

*and it's a leap of faith,
When you believe there's someone out there,
It's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
And when i call out to you,
Will you be right there-

Bridge:
Right there---
And i'll be waiting by the window for your smile to come through,
And i'll be waiting in the darkness when i call out to you,
And i'll remember when you told me,
I could trust in you-

*and it's a leap of faith,
When you believe there's someone out there,
It's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
And when i call out to you,
Will you be right there-
It's a leap of faith,
And i believe that you are out there,
It's a leap of faith and i believe you truly care, oh,
And when i call out to you,
I know you'll be right there,
Right there,
And it's a leap of faith.

I cannot help it,
I couldn't stop it if i tried,
The same old heart beat fills the emptiness i have inside,
And i've heard that you can't fight love so i won't complain
Cause why would i stop the fire that keeps me going on.

Cause when there's you,
I feel whole,
And there's no better feeling in the world,
But without you,
I'm alone,
And i'd rather be in love,
With you.

Turn out the lights now,
To see is to believe,
I just want you near me,
I just want you here with me,
And i'd give up everything only for you,
It's the least that i could do.

Cause when there's you,
I feel whole,
And there's no better feeling in the world,
But without you,
I'm alone,
And i'd rather be in love,
Yes i'd rather be in love,
With you.

And i feel you holding me.

Why are we afraid to be in love,
To be loved,
I can't explain it,
I know it's tough, to be loved.

And i feel you holding me.

Cause when there's you,
I feel whole,
And there's no better feeling in the world,
But without you,
I'm alone,
And i'd rather be in love,
Oh i'd rather be in love,
Yes i'd rather be in love,
With you.

And i feel you holding me.

Sometimes we get second chances,
Sometimes we never make it past the first,
It really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.

And when you say,
It doesn't matter,
Well it does,
And all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
Just one more time i think i'll drive on home tonight..

Sometimes we never see the warning,
And the voice in your head tells you not to go,
It really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.

And when you say,
It doesn't matter,
Well it does,
And all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
Just one more time i think i'll drive on home tonight..

And when you look,
It's gone,
It's too late to turn around,
And it's another day facing yourself and the things that you've done,
Woh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh

And when you say,
It doesn't matter,
Well it does,
And all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
Just one more time i think i'll drive on home tonight..
