Broken Bones Lyrics

Walking a fine line between wrong and right
And I know...
There is a part of me that I try to hide
But I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside

Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend... These broken bones

Caught in the confines of the simple life
And I am...
Holding my head high in the rising tide
And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside

Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend... These broken bones

But Oh
Yeah

I'm not coming home now
I know...
I'm so far away
So far from home
I'm not coming home now
I know...
I'm so far away
I'm so far away

And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight

Now I am calling
Hoping you'll hear me
We all need somebody
To believe in something
And I won't fear this
When I am falling
We all need somebody
That can mend... These broken bones

And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside

And I can't win
And I can't fight
I keep holding on too tight
Running away from the world outside

The sweetest, sweetest song. Reminds me of an ex.

I think this song is related to drug addiction. Reasons why:

  1. The song is used in the tv drama Cleaner, which is addiction related
  2. "But I can't win And I can't fight I keep holding on too tight" is a reference to how a drug addict cannot overcome the drug and has to rely more on the drug
  3. "I'm not coming home now I know... I'm so far away So far from home" - reference to how drug addicts take a long course of medical help to overcome the drug in order to go back home and have a normal life
  4. "That can mend... These broken bones" - reference to the need of assistance going through the procedure of breaking away from the addiction

It's a suggestion

@Lugi I like your view in it. Very interesting

I heard a radio interview with them about this song. Its about a losing a fight with cancer.

Cover art for Broken Bones lyrics by Rev Theory

I read that a band member wrote this song for his mother who died from cancer. But it could also be about someone who has always been there for you and they always mend your "broken bones." The song reminds me of my mom because she raised me and my sister by herself. Then she met her current boyfreind and he treats me like dirt but she always reassures me that we won't be with him too much longer thus mending my "broken bones"
