lyrics

The city’s sleeping, but I am awake
Looking for a sign, trying to feel alive
The stars are a chorus, but I am alone
Alone in my strife, a voice in the night

Where is the cure for a broken heart?
When will an end to my wandering start?
I’ve been torn to pieces
I’ve been pulled apart
Can you hold me together?

The city’s sleeping, but I’m still awake
Looking for a sign, a sign in the sky
The city’s sleeping, but I’m awake
With every failed try engraved on my mind

Where is the cure for a broken heart?
When will an end to my wandering start?
I’ve been torn to pieces
I’ve been pulled apart
Where is the cure for a busted heart?
Where the walls caved in
And the rain came hard
I’ve been trying to find you
I’ve been searching far
Can you hold me together?

There’s got to be more
Than carrying crosses
More than the wreckage
More than the losses
There’s got to be hope
There’s got to be reason for joy
Beyond my struggle

The city awakens as I close my eyes
After the darkness, after the night
I feel it in the dawn that I’m not alone
I’m not alone, I’m right at home

You are the cure for my broken heart
You are the end to my wandering start
I’ve been torn to pieces
I’ve been pulled apart
You are the cure for my busted heart
Where the walls caved in
And the rain came hard
I’ve been trying to find you
I’ve been searching far
Can you hold me together?
