Broken is the man - Jorja Smith

My fears hunt me down Capturing my memories The frontier of loss They try to escape across the street where Jesus stripped bare And raped the spirit He was supposed to nurture In the name of my In the name of my Born of a broken man, but not a broken man Born of a broken man, never a broken man Born of a broken man, but not a broken man Born of a broken man, never a broken man Like autumn leaves his sense fell from him An empty glass of himself shattered somewhere within His thoughts like a hundred moths Trapped in a lampshade Somewhere within Their wings banging and burning On through endless night Forever awake he lies shaking and starving Praying for someone to turn off the light Born of a broken man, never a broken man Born of a broken man, but not a broken man Born of a broken man, never a broken man Born of a broken man, but not a broken man My fear is hunting me down Capturing my memories The frontier of loss They try to escape across the street where Jesus stripped bare And raped the spirit He was supposed to nurture In the name of my In the name of my Born of a broken man, but not a broken man Born of a broken man, never a broken man Born of a broken man, but not a broken man Born of a broken man, never a broken man

I will wander 'til the end of time, torn away from you I pulled away to face the pain I close my eyes and drift away Over the fear That I will never find a way to heal my soul And I will wander 'til the end of time Torn away from you My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us from sorrow's hold Over my heart I can't go on living this way I can't go back the way I came Chained to this fear That I will never find a way to heal my soul And I will wander 'til the end of the time Half alive without you My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us Change Open your eyes to the light I denied it all so long, oh so long Say goodbye, goodbye My heart is broken Release me, I can't hold on Deliver us My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us My heart is broken Sweet sleep, my dark angel Deliver us from sorrow's hold

I set out on a narrow way Many years ago Hoping I would find true love Along the broken road But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow and kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign Pointed straight to you Every long lost dream Led me to where you are Others who broke my heart They were like Northern stars Pointing me on my way Into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you I think about the years I spent Just passing through I'd like to have the time I lost And give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there you understand It's all part of a grander plan That is coming true Every long lost dream Led me to where you are Others who broke my heart They were like Northern stars Pointing me on my way Into your loving arms This much I know is true That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you
