For the Second Time lyrics

[Verse 1]
I came home to find the lights all burnin' bright
And I was feelin' good inside, a friend had seen me through the night
And you know that thing that hits you
When you realize you've thrown it far too high?
And as I called your name around the place
In silence was the very loud reply

[Verse 2]
I saw it in movies and I smiled
When Little Egypt, she slipped away and left us sitting in the aisles
And the fallacy of running
From disaster, or a river cracked and dry
And as I waited, half-expecting her
In silence was the very loud reply

[Chorus]
And for the second time in a year
I was broken, I was broken
I was broken (Broken)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And for the second time in a year
I was broken, I was broken
I was broken (Broken)
[Outro]
I disbelieved in luck and stayed inside
And silence makes a very loud reply
