Lover Is Broken

It’s dark outside
And the baby’s asleep
You’re going for a ride
Why is it black?
What is this tingle on the back of my neck?
It’s cold outside
And the fire’s burned out
You’re going for a ride
Don’t go

Walking down the sidewalk
In New York city snow
A stranger brushed against us
His face was all in shadow
A shiver ran right down my spine
I pulled your arm through mine
I shut my eyes but still could see
The night I’d whisper tenderly

Your breath is still on my lips
Your touch is on my fingertips
Your tears are still on my cheek
Your voice still makes me weak

Gifts I will never give you
Lives I will never live with you
Words that will never be spoken
The moment I lose you
Love is broken
Love is broken
I didn’t want to love you
I didn’t want to go that deep
I didn’t want a dream come true
Just to lose it while I sleep
Every night I held you tight
Don’t take him from me now
Every day I’d wake and say
I got to keep him one more day
Oh thank you, thank you for this day

Gifts I will never give you
Lives I will never live with you
Words that will never be spoken
The moment I lose you
Love is broken
Love is broken

Walking down the hallway
Turning off the lights
There’s no need to wait up for you
It’s time to say goodnight
You know the day you go away
Then I’ll become a ghost
Doomed to walk the world without
The one I loved the most

Your breath is still on my lips
Your touch is on my fingertips
Your tears are still on my cheek
Your voice still makes me weak
Gifts I will never give you
Lives I will never live with you
Words that will never be spoken
The moment I lose you

Your breath is still on my lips
Your touch is on my fingertips
Your tears are still on my cheek
Your voice still makes me weak
Gifts I will never give you
Lives I will never live with you
Words that will never be spoken
The moment I lose you
Love is broken
Love is broken
Love is broken
Love is broken
Love is broken
