Broken Lover

In a world where love can be so cruel There's a guy who's lost playing by his own rules He's just a wounded soul trying to find his way by But he's hurting other people and I'm that guy, cause I'm a broken lover, lost in my own pain, hurting women, leaving scars that will not fade Beneath all this anger, there's a heart that's torn, can I heal this love and finally be reborn Got a heart that's been bent and broken, by a love that really left me choking Now I'm acting out and I'm being cruel, using my own pain as a twisted fuel He walks with a swagger, a shield of arrogance It's a facade, his own form of defense Dealing out pain at others expense Not a care in the world, cause to him it makes sense He used to be a hopeless romantic But now he's cynical and a little frantic He pushes away, he shuts them out Afraid of getting hurt, he's filled with doubt He keeps to himself, afraid to let them in, building up walls, keeping distance He's longing for love to really begin, but he's afraid of love so there's some resistance In a world where love can be so cruel, there's a guy who's playing games and acting like a fool Says he's trying to move on, but he knows that's a lie, he wants to just feel nothing and I'm that guy, cause I'm a broken lover, lost in my own pain, hurting women, leaving scars that will not fade Beneath all this anger, there's a heart that's torn, can I heal this love and finally be reborn Got a heart that's been bent and broken, by a love that really left me choking Now I'm acting out and I'm being cruel, using my own pain as a twisted fuel He's stuck in the past, can't let it go Haunted by a love that's left him so low He's hurting inside, but he won't let it show Taking it out on others, letting his pain grow He's tired of the cycle, and tired of the pain Ready to break free, ready to regain His sense of self, his sense of love, to find healing and to rise above He's learning to forgive, learning to heal Ready to love and ready to feel He's no longer defined by his past mistakes He's ready to move on for love's sake In a world where love can be so cruel, there's a guy who wants to stop acting like a tool He's finally left his pain behind, so he's waiting for the one, and I'm that guy, cause I'm a broken lover, lost in my own pain, hurting women, leaving scars that will not fade Beneath all this anger, there's a heart that's torn, can I heal this love and finally be reborn Got a heart that's been bent and broken, by a love that really left me choking Now I'm acting out and I'm being cruel, using my own pain as a twisted fuel
