I would show you a broken piece, if you promised me you'd cry.

I would show you a broken piece,

If you promised me you'd cry.
If you promised you would care ,

If you would finally ask me why.

I would show you all the bones,

That I broke and didn't tell.

I would show you all the scrapes,

That I taped and glued as well.

but if you'd rather not,

I think understand.

To know someone takes awful long,

And you've barely shook my hand.

So I think we're out of time,

and I think you have to go.

I'll leave the lights on for you,

But I won't expect you home.

You don't really have to care,

and I hate to see you try,

I would show you a broken piece,

If you promised me you'd cry.
