Broken China

BROKEN CHINA
郑中基
LOVE IS SUCH A FRAGILE THING
REAR AND FINE AS PORCALAIN
IT CAN BREAK SO EASILY
BUT IT'S HARD TO MEND
WE DIDN'T HOLD ON TIGHT ENOUGH
WHEN LINES WERE CROSSED WE LOST OUR TRUST
IT'S LIKE WE LET A PRECIOUS CUP
FALL FROM OUR HANDS
[00:44.67]WE CAN PICK UP THE PIECES ONE BY ONE
[00:48.85]TRY TO UNDO THE DAMAGE DONE
[00:53.84]AND HOPE THAT THINGS WILL ONE DAY BE THE SAME
[01:00.77]WE CAN GLUE US TOGETHER BIT BY BIT
[01:04.97]AND MAKE THE JAGGED EDGES FIT
[01:09.11]BUT THE SCARS WILL BE LIKE CRACKS THAT REMAIN
[02:52.25][01:15.66]ON BROKEN CHINA
[01:23.10]
UNDER COVER OF THE DARK
WE LIE IN EACHOTHERS ARMS
AND FOR A MOMENT NOTHING'S WRONG AND WE'RE OKAY
BUT WHEN MORNING COMES THE SUN REVEALS
THERE ARE WOUNDS THAT HAVEN'T HEALED
WE REALIZE THEY NEVER WILL BUT STILL WE PRAY
