Beautifully Broken Lyrics

Mysterious-blown in with the night-all this beauty
Captured in a frame
Visibly shaken but never stirred-drives them insane
I see the way she plays her men- and I know I've got to know her name

Chorus
She's so beautifully broken-shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted-Here I go again

I see the way she casts her spell-it's like drowning in moonlight
Discards them when she's done-they're lost in her twilight
I watch her move from star to star and I wonder why, why it feels so right

Chorus 2
She's so beautifully broken-you can barely see the flaw
Especially from a distance-which is always how I fall

Bridge 1
Why do I fall for the dangerous ones-the ones that
Never learned to let go
And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her
When she's already been so beautifully broken

Bridge 2
Why do I fall for the dangerous ones-the ones that
Don't know how to let go
And why do I lie to myself and pretend that I can break her
When she's already been so

Chorus 1
Beautifully broken-shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted-Here I go again

Cover art for Beautifully Broken lyrics by Gov't Mule

This is another HBO "True Blood" soundtrack song. This is played during scenes with Arlene, Tara and Jessica, who are all troubled women. The song is about a man knowing he can't break a strong woman who's already toughened up and jaded [from life experience]. He sees that she plays men [or rather that she can't be played] but he can't seem to break himself away. Knowing she's dangerous and he can't break her, he still can't stop being drawn to her (she is beautiful yet strong) so he says "Here I go again".
