A Broken Frame

A Broken Frame Lyrics

A face that shaped dreams
Lost in a broken frame
The colour is fading but for now
It seems all the same
The smile i loved in the mornings
Now miles away
Once restrained and then winning
Once so open and next discreet
Hear the drizzle of the rain
The window's creaking
Are there foot-steps in the hall
No a tap must be leaking; I'm lonely!
All these noisy little nothings silly nothings drive me insane: it's scaring
Can you imagine just how i feel
I'm slipping, i'm drowning
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
The bit of certainty i had
Undermined and shaken: It's Fading!
The walls of sand are finally breaking
I'm slipping, i'm drowning
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Nothing is collapsing it's all unchanged
But it is stuck on a broken frame
There's still a balance that will remain
And won't slip out of a broken frame
No further will i drift away
Abandoning my course: I stop it now
I'll catch a wave back to the shore not so far away: I stop now
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
Can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something
