Broken Songtext

von Tracy Chapman

You can close your eyes
And see a picture perfect life
Inside of your mind
Dreaming only of the days ahead
Wanted and wished for more than now
Or the days behind
You waste your time

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken

You can never think
You can't even stop yourself
Before the words have been spoken
And you've already said
You would give everything
And somthing for nothing
Everybody thinks you're joking

The picture makes a promise
THe flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken

You want to be the one
Made over be your own
Before and after
And the supermarket
Beaty in a bottle queen
Who'll one day grace a
Cheek-out counter

Magazin front cover
Thougt the fine print reads

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes promise
The flesh lets it be broken

Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Broken
Lets it be broken
Lets it be broken
Broken
Broken

When your life is never what you wanted
Not even halfay normal
Just tarnished and soiled
When in your reached
A framed and frozen moment
So far from perfection
Not truth or transcendence
Will set you free
Still you don't beive

The picture makes a promise
The flesh lets it be broken
The picture makes promise
The flesh lets it be broken
