[English]

hello

how'd you do

i'm not broken up just split into hope

you're fine

ain't got time

to do everything you said you would

[Music]

pictures of sunny days

how could they say i was broken

how could they say you made me come

undone now i know that it's okay

unlike my friends you are nothing like

them

how could they say i was broken

how could they say you made me

try

to be cool

even where that shirt you wanted to my

friends

think i'm lame

since i met you i am not the same

it was not meant to

be a fairy

[Music]

[Applause]

how could they say i was broken

how could they say you made me come

undone now i know that it's okay

unlike my friends you are nothing like

them

[Music]

okay

unlike my friends

you do

i'm not broken i'm just split into hope

you're fine

ain't got time

i'm not broken not broken not broken

[Music]

unlike my friends

[Music]

unlike my friends who are nothing like

them
