Talia Pearl - Broken, Babe Lyrics

I don't want to go home 'cause I'm afraid
That I'll never make good on these dreams I've made
End up living in a small town working a job I hate 9 to 5
Miss my daughter's first steps, family dinners every night
I don't want to go to bed 'cause I'm afraid
That I'll close my eyes and see the dreams I never made
And I'd blame myself, wish I'd tried
Driving home on the freeway late at night
And they'll just be dreams in my sleep
Whispered regrets that I never reached
And I'll live a life, the one that I feared
The one where I dread every day
Waste my whole life away
'Cause I'm just a little bit broken, babe
Just a little bit broken
And there are some things that we cannot change
So I'm a little bit broken
I spend hours on my phone, so I don't have to feel
Lock myself in my room, lose my childhood years
Petrified of perfection so I am pretending, lying in my bed
One mistake is all it takes for it to be all gone
And my parents say, "she's just a teen
Get her some help, we'll put her in therapy"
And I lash out
Scared it won't help
That I'll never get to feel a life I don't fear
'Cause I'm just a little bit broken, babe
Just a little bit broken
And there are some things that we cannot change
So I'm a little bit broken
And I'm tired of blamin' everything that I'm wastin' on my
Diseased brain
And I'm tired of chasin,' eatin' up my own patience
Thinkin' that I could change
'Cause I'm just a little bit broken, babe
Just a little bit broken
And there are some things that we cannot save
'Cause they're a little too broken
I'm a little too broken, babe
