Broken Home Lyrics

Sometimes you have to rock to your own destiny
And take sides with the life you know
Spirits try to make their way into your mind
Sometimes you have to tell them no

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

It takes the kind of patience that I'll never find
Chemistry of mutated goals
This pessimistic novel that I have to write
Is all that I will ever know

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

To sacrifice the person in the inner core
Is to paralyze the rocking horse
you sway from side to side and take a rocky ride
Until you find your way off course

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
Fixing up our broken home
Dying on that broken road

Sometimes you have to rock to your own destiny
And take sides with the life you know
Spirits try to make their way into your mind
Sometimes you have to tell them no

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

It takes the kind of patience that I'll never find
Chemistry of mutated goals
This pessimistic novel that I have to write
Is all that I will ever know

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

To sacrifice the person in the inner core
Is to paralyze the rocking horse 
you sway from side to side and take a rocky ride
Until you find your way off course

Oh cause I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
And you don't want to spend the rest of your life fixing up our broken home

Oh and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying on this broken road
Fixing up our broken home
Dying on that broken road

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Basically being the guy you used to be.

Before you have to be the guy you were.

Again.

Ad infinitum until you die.

If you're reading this and confused you're not old enough but actually old enough to listen to good shit.
