Everybody thinks they know the answers,
but they don't even know your name.
Everybody thinks they're taking chances,
but they don't even understand the game.
So if I told you I was broken,
would you try to find a way
to take the pieces I could give you,
cradle me gently, and ask me to stay?
My mother,
my father,
my sisters,
all of you
have left me stranded
in this old place,
open the window,
and let me through.
Everybody thinks they see inside you,
but they think everyone's the same.
Everybody thinks they'll stay beside you,
but they just desert you when you turn away.
So if I told you I was broken,
would you try to find the flame
that burns within me, all I can give you,
cradle me gently, and hear what I say?
My mother,
my father,
my sisters,
all of you
have left me stranded
in this old place,
open the window,
and let me through.
If I told you I was shattered,
would you try to hide the grey,
and take me into where I can see you,
cradle me gently, and show me the way?
If I told you (my mother) I was broken (my father),
would you try to save the day (my sisters),
and take me over (you left me stranded) into blue skies (in this old place),
cradle me gently (open the window), and fly me away?
My mother,
my father,
my sisters,
all of you
have left me stranded
in this old place,
open the window,
I'm coming through.
My mother,
my father,
my sisters,
all of you
have left me stranded
in this old place,
open the window,
and let me through.
