Of rags and bones 
 Rusty old wheels on a cobblestone street 
 Everything I own 
 Follows me round like a ghost 
 That won't leave me alone 
    Even sticks and stones 
 Can't leave a mark on this spirit of steel 
 Have you really grown 
 When you come back bleeding 
 From your love torn battles?   
 Wish I could feel bad for you 
 Or sympathize after all I've been through? 
 I'm not as strong as I seem 
 While your heart is beating 
 I've got this broken machine   
 Those days have gone 
 Took so long just to pick myself up 
 And try to walk alone 
 No more afraid to let the sun stare at my face 
 See what you have done 
 Nuts, bolts and parts of dark 
 Days of broken dreams 
 Take so long to replace 
 As for your falling apart at the seams   
 Wish I could feel bad for you 
 Or sympathize after all I've been through? 
 How come you're not as you seem? 
 You've got your problems 
 Your self-esteem   
 Wish I could feel bad for you 
 Or sympathize after all I've been through? 
 How come you're not as you seem? 
 You've got your problems 
 Your self-esteem   
 Wish I could feel bad for you 
 Or feel anything after all I've been through? 
 I'm not as strong as I seem 
 While your heart is beating 
 I've got this broken machine
