you broke a beautiful thing

Singer: kelly, paul

like a child acting so carelessly

you destroyed something you just didn't see

i'm not angry

how could i be angry with a child?

you broke a beautiful thing

and it won't ever mend

thoughtless child

all wrapped up in the shape of a man

i tried so hard to get you to understand

i'm so sorry

why am i always the one saying sorry

like a mother does for a child?

you broke a beautiful thing

and it won't ever mend

i'll never have the pieces again

i hate the way i keep losing things

and i hate the way when i lose something

i never seem to find it again

you broke a beautiful thing
