Analysis of Of Broken Feelings
Seeing life go by me,
many sights of sorrow,
broken people cling to life,
hope for change tomorrow.
Being of a life that's broken,
heartbreak knows me well,
many smile with such pretence,
I can always tell.
They have walked in all my places,
so much hurt they know,
my eyes tell them I am they,
where I've been they'll go.
Tears live deep inside me,
I've held them in too long,
all around me weep so hard,
I don't see what's wrong.
