broken people

I'm wondering how long I can get by (I can get by)

Seems so wrong, but I know I'll be alright (I'll be alright)

Only been down for a minute

It feels so long when I'm in it

Holding on to the ticket

Some things are hard to get

Some nights that I regret

But I'm cleaning up the mess

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)

So caught up, I've got my back against the wall (Against the wall)

Losing hope, I'm broke with no one else to call (No one else to call)

Some things are hard to get

Some nights that I regret

But I'm cleaning up the mess

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)

1 to 99 years old

Yeah, we all cry and we all hold on

To what we can before it's gone

Yeah, let me get a little technical

You gotta understand

You gotta love the world

We gotta work together

And make each other whole

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

(Put me back together, put me back together)

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try

(Put me back together, put me back together)

'Cause we're all just broken people, and we don't know why

But we're keeping it together 'cause we gotta try
