Bing, out of tune
Bing, bing, a clash out of tune
But, sweet to my ears

Burned dolls on the floor
Dirty blankets with holes
An old ripped coloring book
And my broken piano

What do I remember first?
There's so much and it's not all there
Before my memories fade
Grab it all in and don't let it go!

It's a part of you
It makes the you
The who no one knows
They never know
Just you and your broken piano

Pieces of you all over the floor
You want what? There isn't any more
You didn't have the life others had
They were getting ahead, and you'¦

You were playing that damn broken piano

You were stuck with that damn broken piano

Dragging it everywhere you go
Won't even leave it behind once
Won't let it alone for a minute
It felt like betraying an old friend

If you closed it up and walked away
Because it was there too
Through everything about you

Years later, you've grown
It's still there in your room
Wrap your arms around yourself
And remember the you
The who no one ever knew

No one will ever know
It's always just me and my broken piano
