[Chorus: Both] Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken [Verse 1: Hayden Forbes] An unbreakable bond Between me and this song But I feel something's wrong What's going on? Adrenaline rush but in the wrong way Not doing much, but I’m nervous all-day I’m shaking, I’m quaking It’s my anxiety, what can I say? Twisted thoughts of freaking nonsense Need a doctor for my guilty conscience That shouldn’t exist, it doesn’t make sense Still holding up, picket fence Did that make me sound corny? Maybe you liked that line But does that mean you like me? I can’t decide, tectonic mind Earthquaked since my first day on this earth mate (this earth mate) Will wordplay bring nurse aid before my birthday? (my birthday) Cause a couple of cheap shots could take me down But then again who cares about me now No love just judgment Bullied, no repercussions Tired all day but at night I’m an insomniac Thinking of everything stupid mistake, why does it bring me back? Regrets and mistakes sting me like a yellow jacket But an overthinker freaking out is all I’ll ever be and that’s it [Chorus: Both] Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken [Verse 2: Jerrod Gander] Ballad of the broken? Outshine but I'm never outspoken Age 15's when I started smokin' Why? Because I got anxiety It runs inside of me Matter of fact it's in my family tree ... I'm sick and tired of me Tryin' to please everyone I meet I mean honestly My life's lookin' like a horror scene It gets more obscene The more morphine I'm takin' every pill lookin' like a zombie But I still got these b*tches up on me But I tell 'em get the fu*k up off me Here comes depression, it's my obsession When I sit and reminisce 'bout the days I miss I'm tryna get stuck in a state of bliss ... But I'm broken (I'm broken) So hopeless (So hopeless) Emotions I don't know how to cope with [Post-Verse: Hayden Forbes] Now listen This message isn’t much, just take it as such A blank face value for you to use It's an open interp Inspiring words It’s what you deserve, what you deserve I may not be there physically, but I’ll be there in emotion And this track is the ballad of the broken [Chorus: Both] Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken (Ahh, ahh) Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken Ballad of the broken, ballad of the broken
