broken people

I’m wondering how long I can get by (I can get by)
Seems so wrong but I know I’ll be alright (I’ll be alright)
Only been down for a minute
Feels so long when I’m in it
Holding on to the ticket

Some things are hard to get
Some nights that I regret
But I’m cleaning up the mess

'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
(Put me back together put me back together)
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
(Put me back together put me back together)

So, caught up I’ve got my back against the wall (against the wall)
Losing hope, I’m broke with no one else to call (no one else to call)

Some things are hard to get
Some nights that I regret
But I'm cleaning up the mess

'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
(Put me back together, put me back together)
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
(Put me back together, put me back together)
'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
(Put me back together, put me back together)
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
(Put me back together, put me back together)

One to 99 years old
Yeah, we all cry and we all hold on to what we can before it’s gone
Yeah, let me get a little technical
You’ve got to understand
You’ve gotta love the world
We’ve gotta work together and make each other whole

'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
(Put me back together, put me back together)
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
(Put me back together, put me back together)
'Cause we’re all just broken people and we don’t know why
But we’re keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try
