Broken Things Lyrics

Sometimes the road is crystal
And sometimes i feel like I'm losing my mind
Tell me what it is you think you're missing
And i will see what i can find

You want to be so sure of
Every step you take
But you can't always know whats coming
You can't always trust a twist of fate

Well ooooh my love
My heart is set on you
Set on you
Ooooh my love
My heart is set on you
Set on you

Ah, the stars shine down from black
And we're picking through this broken glass
Well, how could we know that our lives would be so
Full of beautifully broken things

Well ooooh my love
My heart is set on you
Set on you
Ooooh my love
My heart is set on you
(I'm) set on you

War is the most vulgar madness
And winter's can be so cruel
(You) You can't always change the way things are
Like I can't change the way I think of you but...

Well oooooh my love
My heart is set on you
Set on you
Oooooh my love
My heart is set on you
Set on you
Ooooh my love
My love, my love
Ooooh my love
My heart is set on you
Set on you

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.
