Broken

Why am I broken?
Why are the words out of my mouth
All double-spoken?
I get so tired of self-doubt
You won't believe me
If I tell you I feel this way
You will deceive me
And leave me hanging on display

But I've revised these lines
A thousand times
Through twisted thoughts
And stupid rhymes
And I'm beginning to define

Tongue tied and aimless
Your language fails me once again
So I remain nameless
And you can't say you knew me when

Still I've survived
And all my tests of time
Trace to a different dotted line
And I'm beginning to see signs

Why am I broken?
Why are the words out of my mouth
All double-spoken?
I get so tired of self-doubt
You won't believe me
If I tell you I feel this way
You will deceive me
And leave me hanging on display

But I've survived
And all my tests of time
Trace to a different dotted line
And I'm beginning to see signs

And I've revised these lines
A thousand times
Through twisted thoughts
And stupid rhymes
And I'm beginning to be fine
