Broken Mess Lyrics

The Classic Crime - Broken Mess
Verse:
He can't sleep, he can't eat He keeps
M9
thinking about her behind the locked door
of her bedroom As she
M9
knowingly tortures the shell that is left of her
bridegroom
Repeat Intro Riff:
And what did he do to deserve
M9
This whore of a wife who parades her disgrace to his face now
M9
When he loved her and gave up his life in more ways than she knows how
And all I can say is that
Chorus:
Love is a terrible art, it's a hook in the heart
That can drag you on broken glass
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
Dm G ?Am
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess
Verse:
Where is God in this rot?
M9
Depraved she commits the most heinous of sins and breaks her vows
M9
But he loves her despite all the crimes she devises in his house
Where is God? I've been taught
M9
That He's close to the broken, it's true I have spoken with Him some
M9
When I look in my brother's eyes I can see where his love comes from
And all he can say is that
Chorus:
Love is a terrible art, it's a hook in the heart
That can drag you on broken glass
And as you protest the shards in your flesh
The hook tears out your chest until you're just a broken mess
Bridge:
But she has mercy on her lover and does not bleed him dry
A credit to his self control if it were me that monster would probably die
Chorus 2:
Love is a beautiful thing, she can make your heart sing
When you're walking on broken glass
She will open your eyes, make your heart feel alive
Point you toward the sunrise
Help you leave all this broken mess behind
Outro: 4x
Love is a beautiful thing
Will you leave this broken mess behind?
