Broken One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We grew up so differently
You had one house, one backyard, one Christmas tree
You didn't split your time, didn't wonder why, like me

[Verse 2]
When I met your mom and I met your dad
Damn, it's cool to see that love can last
'Cause I never knew 'til I was loved like that by you

[Chorus]
You could've seen too much work
All the missing pieces
Someone who's gonna leave
'Cause I come from leaving
Could've seen my past
Took a look at my baggage
And packed yours up and run
But you saw a home in a girl from a broken one

[Verse 3]
She has my eyes and has your nose
But thank God she never has to know
What it's like to grow up picking sides

[Chorus]
You could've seen too much work
All the missing pieces
Someone who's gonna leave
'Cause I come from leaving
Could've seen my past
Took a look at my baggage
And packed yours up and run
But you saw a home in a girl from a broken one
[Bridge]
Yeah, my raising wasn't perfect
But the girl you saw was worth it

[Chorus]
You could've seen too much work
All the missing pieces
Someone who's gonna leave
'Cause I come from leaving
Could've seen my past
Took a look at my baggage
And packed yours up and run
But you saw a home in a girl from a broken one

[Outro]
Yeah, you saw home sweet home
In a girl from a broken one
