I'm sitting alone 
Pretending to read 
Don't come near me 
I am bleeding
I live by myself
I eat on my own
I don't take chances
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
I know it's absurd
I know it's not right
But I'm still hurting
Since the last fight
Got lost in the rain
Got left in the dark
He took my life
He took my heart
Ohhhh ohhh
Damaged and bruised like a toy that's been used
I'm nothing to him
I'm nothing to you
Broken and torn
This is your warning
I'm desperate for you
But I'm damaged
I'm damaged and bruised
I push you away
Because I am scared
I am empty
I am lonely
There is no time
There's no room for lies
It's hard to trust when people lie
Ohhhh ohhh
CHORUS
If I gave you one chance
Would you take my hand?
If I gave you my heart
Would you love me 'til the end?
Damaged and bruised like a toy that's been used
I'm nothing to him
Make me something to you
Broken and torn
This is your warning
I'm desperate for you
I'm desperate
I'm damaged and bruised

nothing but a broken vessel

If in life you have a heart bent on hatred you will find defeat by your own vice. Many live in a quarry of false notions based upon emotional instability. The cross of which they carry is a cross of burden weighed down with selfishness, pride and the like of which man is so pron to find himself in. When we look to ourselves for happiness and strength we always come up short, for within us is corruption, weakness and emptiness. Man left to himself is nothing but a broken vessel.
