Song With A Broken String

Song with a Broken String

The title comes from that you can actually play this song with a guitar that is missing its D string. I made the title before writing the lyrics, so it kind of became a theme for the pre-chorus. I really like the groove... it feels more or less complete, minus bass track. Notice the cello?

I sat next to you
And thought to myself
The thoughts that we hide
Are permanent wealth

You came close to me
I kept myself back
You kissed me goodbye
And I remained slack

I went to bed
With a pain in my head
I was broken inside
And I slept like the dead

A guitar doesn't need
Anything to be right
String snapped while I played
But it played all right


You think you're lost
You're in the right place
You might be alone
You will be okay
You're more than a child
You're less than a grave
Take a little time
I'll give you the day

I sat next to you
Trying to hide
The thought that you knew
I was broken inside

A guitar doesn't need
Anything to be right
String snapped while I played
It played all right


You think you're lost
You're in the right place
You might be alone
You will be okay
You're more than a child
You're less than a grave
Take a little time
I'll give you the day
