He takes her small hand
But she shakes her head
If he doesn't understand
He hasn't listened to what
She's said

She's waited for this time
To let him down slow
But he's not taking her line
He won't let her go

Where did he go wrong?
He wants to know
He can't stand it
She's so calm

Chorus:
She's been waiting
For a chance to break from the day
It's like banging your head
On a broken window pane, she
Explained
Can't catch the light storm
The air has grown so stale
He has no choice
He has to go now

She turns
Her back now
So their eyes
Can't meet
And as she
Walks away
She's a stranger
In the street

His ears are bleeding
He can't hear a sound
She is lost now
And she can't be found

Where did he go wrong?
He wants to know
He can't stand it
She's so calm

(Chorus)

I looked in the mirror to see
It's my face staring back now at me
How did I get here?
I am lost, I am choking
I am broken I am broken

(Chorus)

I've been waiting
For a chance to break from the day
Oh it's like banging your head
On a broken window pane,
I explained
Can't catch the light storm
The air has grown so stale
I have no choice
I have to go now

I have to go now
Leave me alone
