Paramore - We Are Broken Lyrics






I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
That came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me

And I'll take the truth at any cost

'Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And oh, the promise we adored
Give us life again
'Cause we just wanna be whole

    Does anyone else feel like this would be a good wrestling theme (song)? I keep getting those vibes whenever I replay the first minute.'

    Anyway, this song by Paramore is freaking awesome :)

    One of my favorite songs and bands of all time. Paramore forever.

  6. R.... P....

    one of the best ever Paramore... deep and awesome, even beyond 35 can bring tears into my eyes... feel a bit sorry how they turned to writing actual pop music even if we should respect their decision, still I miss so much the before-pop era...

  10. C.... ....

    Come to Him as a child. Then pray for God to lock the door or they will try and devour your inner child. That is where your sunshine is found. I know because it happened in 2001. And I went to where I was full of joy as a child last week. Had to lock the door though.

  11. Z.... A....

    I have PTSD for more than 10 years. This song helps me to relieve those painful memories

    [Verse 1]
    I am outside and I've been waiting for the sun
    With my wide eyes, I've seen worlds that don't belong
    My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
    Tell me why we live like this

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Keep me safe inside
    Your arms like towers
    Tower over me, yeah

    [Chorus]
    Cause we are broken
    What must we do to restore our innocence
    And all the promise we adored?
    Give us life again
    Cause we just wanna be whole

    [Verse 2]
    Lock the doors, cause I'd like to capture this voice
    It came to me tonight
    So everyone will have a choice
    And under red lights, I'll show myself it wasn't forged
    We're at war, we live like this

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Keep me safe inside
    Your arms like towers
    Tower over me


    [Chorus]
    Cause we are broken
    What must we do to restore our innocence
    And all the promise we adored?
    Give us life again
    Cause we just wanna be whole

    [Bridge]
    Tower over me
    Tower over me
    And I'll take the truth at any cost

    🤘🏼👍🏼

  50. p.... l....

    Linda de ouvir. e como um por do sol ou uma lua brilhante onde a gente nunca esquece.

  51. G.... J....

    Kind of hurts to hear the parts of her voice that have been tuned. She has grown greatly though and I’m sure this has been used less and less with each record.

    It’s still bittersweet to hear this record today in 2019. First time was when I bought it without knowing who they were. The photo on the back of riot made them seem cool. I went to Walmart bought a disc and my life changed. I miss those times.

  52. V.... K....

    2019❤️

  53. G.... S....

    def the best paramore song lol i use to go to sleep to the riot album every night when i was 16

  54. S.... B....

    Riot will forever be my favorite album!!!! 💜

  55. U.... S....

    😔😔😔 201

  56. J.... T....

    Am I the only one listening here in 2019?

  57. J.... W....

    this song really embodies me. it's like when you wrote it you really thought of me. I guess it's gotta be fate then. with a love send down lyrics God above. I'm low on your love.
    so I heard the towers over. so I babble on like babble on and I steel write along with your song having so many potential leads. it's more than deeds. it's our races. the king of spades our Ace is in the whole. I brought upon the love full. It's rare when all the world's can connect with equal roles. we all know for whom the bell tolls so I ring out and bring out the best I can of my character.

  58. B.... Y....

    2019...?

  59. J.... 1....

    Depressed song but make me feel better...

    J.... 1....

    Because it is a depressed, sad but filled with hope. It gives me hope.

  60. J.... G....

    2019 🙌

  61. M.... a....

    2019!! Still relatable

  62. C.... A....

    This song has a special place in my heart, as the first song I ever used for an AMV.

  63. M.... X....

    "...cuz we just want a b-hole..."

  64. L.... F....

    goosebumps...

  65. F.... 1....

    I just....

  66. S.... S....

    I love paramore

  67. A.... H....

    listened to this a lot in high school when I was struggling with bullying, depression and other stuff. I went through a lot of tough stuff. I got told to kill myself at 15 and already was depressed before that but that made it worse and I wanted to die prior to being told to kill myself by a girl at school. I reported it but my high school didn't care. I survived that but continued getting bullied and other issues due to being bullied and then at 19 got diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 1 and that made sense because I was suicidal the rest of high school and had lots of long depressive periods.

  68. J.... C....

    why hayley dont responds to my comment.i fell like im idiot..

  69. A.... ....

    I keep listening on 2018

  70. D.... R....

    2018 and still search for it 😍

  71. K.... R....

    I am definitely broken. Lost all hope. Lost my purpose and lost motivation. I. Just an empty dude waking up working and repeating it

  72. M.... ....

    Who's here in 2018?

  73. S.... R....

    PARAMORE forever... Please back ur original genre

    S.... R....

    No. Stop.

  74. M.... A....

    🎤🎸PARAMORE FOREVER🎸

  75. S.... S....

    I'm here from the foster season 1 :D

  76. r.... ....

    This is still the best song they've ever made. I wish they'd bring it back for some live shows. She's a way better live singer now and would do it justice. All of the live performances of this from way back when were shaky and pitchy

  77. C.... ....

    Paramore is a band






    And they always will be

  78. D.... G....

    Bless my ex Ashley for introducing me to this song few years ago. 💚

  79. e.... n....

  85. U.... F....

    I found this by accident. Pretty nice

  86. -.... m....

    Why are the sad songs my favorites?

  87. M.... A....

    I am outside
    And I've been waiting for the sun
    With my wide eyes
    I've seen worlds that don't belong
    My mouth is dry
    With words I cannot verbalize
    Tell me why
    We live like this
    Keep me safe inside
    Your arms like towers
    Tower over me, yeah
    Cause we are broken
    What must we do to restore
    Our innocence
    And all the promise we adored?
    Give us life again
    Cause we just wanna be whole
    Lock the doors
    Cause I'd like to capture this voice
    It came to me tonight
    So everyone will have a choice
    And under red lights
    I'll show myself it wasn't forged
    We're at war
    We live like this
    Keep me safe inside
    Your arms like towers
    Tower over me
    Cause we are broken
    What must we do to restore
    Our innocence
    And all the promise we adored?
    Give us life again
    Cause we just wanna be whole
    Tower over me
    (Ah...) Tower over me
    (Ah...)
    And I'll take the truth at any cost
    Cause we are broken
    What must we do to restore
    Our innocence
    And all the promise we adored?
    Give us life again
    Cause we just wanna be whole

  88. E.... ....

    It’s been a while

  89. R.... E....

    Thank you Jesus for your sacrifice and taking our place for the punishment that we deserve! Thank you for making us in your image and able to express our anguish to you through music like Hayley does here, thank you!

    R.... E....

    Not only Hayley.

    R.... E....

    Amen brother

    R.... E....

    AMEN!!!!!!!!!

  90. S.... A....

    This song and misguided ghosts helped me through a lot and now I'm happier than I've been in years after heartbreak, insecurity, trust issues and depression. If it wasn't for music than things would have been so much worse

  91. M.... C....

    I still love this song 2018

  92. H.... R....

    This song is clearly about Jesus.

    H.... R....

    Helo Rios yeah, Amen!

    H.... R....

    That's what I thought straight away:)

  93. C.... M....

    Who's here in 2018? ❤️
