Broken Love
(lyrics, Patti Pelican & music Patti Pelican, Art Labriola ©2002)

There was a time, I barely remember,
When love filled this place and you two were friends.
But somethin’s come and shaken our house
Your love broke to pieces, there’s just dust all around.

I wish I knew how to find all the pieces
I wish I knew how to glue them all back
But I’m afraid they’ve scattered too far
Can forgiveness know where they are?

Can you tell me one reason why,
The time has come you say you’ve got to say good-bye
Well let me ask you somethin’ now
Hey I don’t mean to pry
You tell me it’s for my good,
How come all I do is cry?

Can you find your broken love, can you piece it all back,
Or is love just dust with no hope to attach?
The walls of this house won’t let anything move
Please look again, maybe I can help too.

Try and bring back the reason I am here
What are your stories I’ve never been told?
Just for this moment, look in my eyes
I am the light that shines so bright

I’ll come see you in another house, in another town.
Your tears now, I’ll keep safe with me
My heart can love both of you now.

Can you tell me one reason why,
The time has come you say you’ve got to say good-bye
Well let me ask you somethin’ now, I don’t mean to pry
You say you have no choice,
You plead with me it’s not my fault,
You tell me it’s for my good
How come all I do is cry?

Tell me, tell me, tell me--why oh why?
Tell me, tell me, tell me-- why? Why
