I  know you don't wanna say goodbye  yet,
 But she can't survive  here with just a petal
 You still have one wish but it'd be useless,
 More than roses  have died in this desert.
 Child, it seems that younger  and younger,
 They start  to wipe your minds  clean.
 But how, I wonder, just barely  under,
 Do your  eyes continue sparkling?
 (CHORUS)
 And I-I never  want to open up your eyes,  everything's broken.
 And I-I never  want to open up your heart,  everything's broken.
I  don't understand why they are gone,
 Or what reason  there is to be strong.
 I still try to love but I'm in a place  where
 Doing what's right  is so wrong.
 But if you see me ignore  the gun,
 We are still  fighting for life.
 Here's our wish  just to exist
 In more than our eyes.
 And I-I never  want to open up your eyes,  everything's broken.
 And I-I never  want to open up your heart,  everything's broken.
 Do you see what I see? Do  you feel what I feel?
It  doesn't matter until we see  broken lives heal
 Do you see what I see? Do  you feel what I feel?
It  doesn't matter until we see  broken lives heal
 Oh......oh......oh......oh......oh......oh......
 And I-I found  it hard to open up my mouth,  will they hear what's spoken?
 But I-I saw  when I opened up my eyes,  invisible children.
Broke,  but not  broken.
Broke,  but not  broken.

[D]I know you don't wanna say g[G]oodbye yet,
But she can't survi[C]ve here with just a pe[D]tal
You still have one wish but it'd be u[G]seless,
More than r[C]oses have died in this de[D]sert.
Child, it seems that yo[G]unger and younger,
They st[C]art to wipe your min[D]ds clean.
But how, I wonder, just b[G]arely under,
Do y[C]our eyes continue spar[D]kling?

(CHORUS)
And I-I [Am]never want to open up your e[C]yes, everything's [D]broken.
And I-I [Am]never want to open up your h[C]eart, everything's [D]broken.

[D]I don't understand why they are g[G]one,
Or what re[C]ason there is to be st[D]rong.
I still try to love but I'm in a p[G]lace where
Doing what's r[C]ight is so wr[D]ong.
But if you see me ig[G]nore the gun,
We are st[C]ill fighting for l[D]ife.
Here's our w[G]ish just to ex[C]ist
In more than our e[D]yes.

And I-I [Am]never want to open up your e[C]yes, everything's [D]broken.
And I-I [Am]never want to open up your h[C]eart, everything's [D]broken.

Do you see what I see? [Am]Do you feel what I feel?
[C]It doesn't matter until we s[D]ee broken lives heal
Do you see what I see? [Am]Do you feel what I feel?
[C]It doesn't matter until we s[D]ee broken lives heal

Oh......[Am]oh......[C]oh......[D]oh......[D]oh......[Am]oh......

And I-I [Am]found it hard to open up my [C]mouth, will they hear what's [D]spoken?
But I-I [Am]saw when I opened up my [C]eyes, invisible c[D]hildren.

[Am]Broke, but n[C]ot bro[D]ken.
[Am]Broke, but n[C]ot bro[D]ken.
