Pete Doherty – Broken Love Song Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

Broken Love Song Lyrics

Take a broken love song
Keep it by your side
Never be lonely
Find a place to hide
By the Westway
Inside the Scrubs
How long must we wait
For them killing us?
Killing us

They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still

Through my cell window
Hear the loft-boy sing
"Come on, you R's"

Carried on the wind
Every morning I'll be singing
Like a caged bird you might say
John, Paul, George and Ringo
Help pass the hours away

Free as a bird will I be
Another dawn creeps up on me
On me

They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest

Letters from faceless haters
Who'd love to see me swinging in my cell

Why, I never saw a man
Who looked with such a wistful eye
Upon that little tent of blue
Prisoners call the sky


They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
They are the loneliest
Still

Take a broken love song
Keep it by your side
