MIchelle Branch Broken Bracelet Lyrics
1.If Only She Knew

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I don't know whose side I'm takin'
But I'm not takin' things too well
I can see inside you're achin'
But is it still too early for me to tell?
I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

(Chorus)
'Cause I still love you like I did before
I know for sure that you still feel the same way I do
If only she knew
Whoa, if only she knew, oh

I try to let it go but I don't know if I can take it
'Cause the way you looked at me
Made me see that I can't really fake it
I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you

(Chorus)

I know she loves you and I can't interfere
So I'll just have to sit back and watch my world disappear
Whoa

I try to help you out through the hardest of times
Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind
Though it looks as if it's over
I'm still not over you
Oh, I'm still not over you

(Chorus)

If only she knew, oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na.


2.Sweet Misery

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I was lost
And you were found
You seemed to stand on solid ground
I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar, we strummed along, oh

(Chorus)

Sweet misery you cause me
That's what you called me
Sweet misery you cause me

I was blind
But oh, how you could see
You saw the beauty in everything, everything and me
I would cry
And you would smile
You'd stay with me a little while

(Chorus +)
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery
Oh, whoa

(Chorus +)
And in my heart I see, oh
What you're doing to me
And in my heart I see, oh
Just how you wanted it to be
Sweet misery

I was weak
And you were strong
And me and my guitar, we strummed along


3.Washing Machine

Written:Michelle Branch/Jenifer Hagio

Your eyes they look so bright
a funky flair in my appetite
but there's no room for you
my feet are on the ground
and my head is in the clouds
but you still can't break through
whatcha gonna do

(Chorus)
I'm not just gonna stand around
Waiting for my lips to be read
falling through the cracks in the ground
my feelings need to be said

Flowing like water in a crimson melody
the orange plastic sun is shining
and the truth so hard to see
the rain of your existence if falling down on me
and the soap suds spread like a disease from my washing machine

(Chorus)

I'm not just gonna stand around
waiting for you
falling through the cracks in the ground
and I'm hoping that you'll make your next move
that you'll make your next move

(Chorus)


4.I'd Rather Be In Love

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

I cannot help it
I couldn't stop it if I tried
The same old heartbeat fills the emptiness I have inside
And I've heard that you can't fight love, so I won't complain
'Cause why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on?

(Chorus)
'Cause when there's you, I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
But without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love with you

Turn out the lights now
To see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
And I'd give up everything only for you
It's the least that I could do

(Chorus)
And I feel you holding me

Why are we afraid to be in love?
To be loved
I can't explain it
I know it's tough to be loved
And I feel you holding me

(Chorus)

And I'd rather be in love
Yes, I'd rather be in love
Oh I'd rather be in love with you
And I feel you holding me, oh


5.Paper Pieces

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch/Will Golden

Dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada
dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada

Called your name today but no one answers any more,
you turned and ran away like someone came and locked the door,
paper pieces lyin' on the floor,
I fall to pieces now the coffees' black and my heart is soar.

*Pick me up tape me together, dadadadada-
like paper pieces on the floor.

Dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada
dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada

Since you left that day I've realized my minds made up on you,
my heart is capsized and I don't know what I'm gonna do.

*Pick me up tape me together, dadadadada-
like paper pieces on the floor.
Pick me up tape me together, dadadadada-
like paper pieces on the floor,
paper pieces on the floor :

and I call out to you,
oh, but you turn,
yes you turn away-

Dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada
dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada

Called you name today but no one answers any more.

*Pick me up tape me together, dadadadada-
like paper pieces on the floor.
Pick me up tape me together, dadadadada-
like paper pieces on the floor,
Pick me up tape me together, dadadadada-
like paper pieces on the floor,
paper pieces on the floor
(call me,call me, call me, call me)

Dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada
dada duda duda duda duda du dada duda dada


6.Stewart's Coat

Lyrics:Rickie Lee Jones
Music:Rickie Lee Jones

Hold me love,
I can't sleep again,
will I have to kiss your nose,
I wanna lay here next to him,
love,
I remember walking in the rain,
rain was falling on my hands,
I don't wanna live through that again,
no.

I know it takes love, love is a healing thing
When you give everything, you're loving the world
The world gives you love to hold onto, remembering, we seldom
remember love.

Just give me many chances,
I'll see you through it all,
just give me time to learn to crawl.

In September,
when the rain comes,
and the wind blows,
I will see you walking in the coat of,
If you let me,
I will keep you here inside the stars,
I will love the salt on my sheets, oh you'll love me.

Just give me many chances,
I'll see you through it all,
just give me time to learn to crawl,
time to learn to crawl,
time to learn to crawl,
time to learn to crawl.


7.I'll Always Be Right There

Written:Michelle Branch/Jenifer Hagio

When you're all alone,
and you need a light,
someone to guide you through the night,
just remember that I am here,
to hold you close and dry your tears.

Oh-ooh

And just when you thought you were falling,
but you know I'll always be right there.

When you're all alone,
and you need a friend,
someone to help you to the end,
when you need someone to catch you when you fall,
I'll be there through it all.

oh-oh

Cause just when you thought you were losing,
but you know I'll always be right there.

And I'll be there through the good times,
and the bad,
and we'll be there for each other,
cause you're the best friend I've ever had.

And just when you thought you were falling,
but you know I'll always be right there.
oh-oooh whenever you need me,
I'll always be right there.


8.Goodbye To You

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

Of all the things I've believed in,
I just want to get it over with,
tears form behind my eyes,
but I do not cry,
counting the days that pass me by.
I've been searchin' deep down in my soul,
words that I'm hearin' are starting to get old,
it feels like I'm starting all over again,
The last three years were just pretend,
and I say-

(Chorus)

Goodbye to you,
goodbye to everything I thought I knew,
You were the one I loved,
the one thing that I tried to hold on to.

I still get lost in your eyes,
and it seems that I can't live a day without you,
closing my eyes,
and you chase my thoughts away,
to a place where I am blinded by the light,
but it's not right.

(Chorus)

and it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time,
I want what's yours and I want what's mine,
I want you,
and I'm not giving in this time.

(Chorus 2x)

Oh, oh woah,
and when the stars fall I will lie awake,
you're my shooting star.


9.Second Chances

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

Sometimes we get second chances,
sometimes we never make it past the first,
it really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,
it really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.

And when you say,
it doesn't matter,
well it does,
and all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..

Sometimes we never see the warning,
and the voice in your head tells you not to go,
it really makes me wonder why some things happen when they do,
It really makes me wonder why it wasn't me instead of you.

And when you say,
it doesn't matter,
well it does,
and all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..

And when you look,
it's gone,
it's too late to turn around,
and it's another day facing yourself and the things that you've
done,
woh-oh-oh-oh-ohhh

And when you say,
it doesn't matter,
well it does,
and all it takes is a mistake to eat your words,
just one more time I think I'll drive on home tonight..


10.Leap Of Faith

Lyrics:Michelle Branch
Music:Michelle Branch

One less call to answer,
feeling full of despair,
don't think I can get through it,
just one last prayer.

*And it's a leap of faith,
when you believe there's someone out there,
it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
and when I call out to you,
will you be right there,
right there.

Searching for the answer,
nobody seems to care,
Oh how I wish that you were here,
beside me,
to wipe away my tears.

*And it's a leap of faith,
when you believe there's someone out there,
it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
and when I call out to you,
will you be right there,
right there.

Waiting for the answer,
remembering times we would share,
somehow I feel you here beside me,
even though your not there.

*And it's a leap of faith,
when you believe there's someone out there,
it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
and when I call out to you,
will you be right there-

Bridge:
Right there---
And I'll be waiting by the window for your smile to come
through,
and I'll be waiting in the darkness when I call out to you,
and I'll remember when you told me,
I could trust in you-

*And it's a leap of faith,
when you believe there's someone out there,
it's a leap of faith when you believe that someone cares, oh,
and when I call out to you,
will you be right there-
It's a leap of faith,
and I believe that you are out there,
it's a leap of faith and I believe you truly care, oh,
and when I call out to you,
I know you'll be right there,
right there,
and it's a leap of faith.
