Elvis Costello — Broken lyrics

Lyrics

If I am frightened, then I can hide it If I am crying, I’ll call it laughter
If I am haunted, I’ll call it my imaginary friend
If I am bleeding, I’ll call it wine
But if you leave me, then I am broken
And if I’m broken, then only death remains
If I am drifting, then I can fight it If I am sinking, no one will know it If I am blinded, I’ll have my voices still to guide me If they yet fled away, I’d bless the silence
But if you leave me, then I am broken
And if I’m broken, then only death remains
