Lyrics

I can’t resist a broken wing
It’s a weakness in my heart
I want to mend this fragile thing
Before it’s torn apart

I’ve got a history of empathy
With the person in decay
I let them in, the down-and-out
The waif and the stray

A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why

Take advantage all you like
I’m a well of feel-good vibes
Generosity tends to spiike
When I feel I’m improving lives

I wish I could resist the urge
To lift you higher than me
But needs must, just say the words
And we could both be free

A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why

Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing

Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing

A broken wing is all you need to 
To catch my eye 
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why 
I don’t know why

A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye 
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why 
I don’t know why

I don’t know why
