I Know You Think the World is Broken

Words and Music by Stephen Smoke

I know you think the world is broken
I used to feel that way too
(Shot myself) up with hate and anger
Bit off more than I could chew

(Now I leave the) fixing to the ones who broke it
Loud ones who seem to care so much
Me, I do…whatever I can do
With people and things that I can touch

Refrain:

Oh baby, oh my my baby
Oh darlin’, oh my darlin’
What are you, gonna do
Oh baby, oh my my baby
Oh darlin’, oh my darlin’

What are you, gonna do
People think but they are thoughtless
Reason is a long lost art
For all the gifts and all the choices
We just seem to grow apart

But unlike you I’m not discouraged
I can still see the prize
I look for answers in the moment
Not in someone else’s eyes

Refrain

I know that life is what you make it
Nothing less, nothing more
(You see) an exit, I see an entrance
(I have faith in what) lies behind the door

I see perfection in imperfections
I know it’s strange yet perfect somehow
The world keeps spinning, it turns forever
On the razor’s edge of the here and now

Refrain
