Here comes an opening, she’s gotta broken wing,
If you can feel the sting,
Take care of everything, if she can make a scene,
I’ll show you what I mean/

She pack a loaded gun, set fire to anyone,
Knows how to make ‘em run,
She’s down on sixth street, she’s goin’ sixty,
She’ll show you how to breathe/

I don’t want to see, I don’t want to be,
I don’t wanna be anyone, anymore,
I don’t want to fake, I don’t want to break,
I don’t wanna say anything, anymore/

Every time you walk away, I wish you’d stay,
Instead of pushin’ further away,
Every time I hear you say, I just need one, to take this pain away/

You’re a broken wing, not a broken thing,
You can heal in time, if you try,
It’ll be okay, you can walk away,
Sweet Julia…./

Here comes an opening, he’s gotta broken wing,
If you can feel the sting,
Take care of everything, if he can make a scene,
I’ll show you what I mean/
He packs a loaded gun, set fire to anyone,
Knows how to make ‘em run,
He’s down on sixth street, he’s goin’ sixty,
He’ll show you how to breathe/

I don’t want to see, I don’t want to be,
I don’t wanna be anyone, anymore/
I don’t want to fake, I don’t want to break,
I don’t wanna say anything, anymore,

Every time ya walk away, I wish you’d stay,
Instead of pushin’ further away,
Every time I hear you say, I just need one, to take this pain away/
You’re a broken wing, not a broken thing,
You can heal in time, if you try,
It’ll be okay, you can walk away,
Sweet Julia…./

And I won’t laugh, I won’t look, I won’t listen if you just get up,
And I won’t laugh, I won’t look, I won’t listen if you just stand/

Every time I lie awake, I wish I, could take it all away,
Every time my heart breaks, I wish I could make it seem safe……/

Every time ya walk away, I wish you’d stay,
Instead of pushin’ further away,
Every time I hear you say, I just need one, to take this pain away/
You’re a broken wing, not a broken thing,
You can heal in time, if you try,
It’ll be okay, you can walk away,
Julia…./




Behind the Song:
"This song is specifically referring to a girl and a guy struggling with a drug/alcohol addiction. It’s from a narrative point of view looking in on their stories, and is trying to parallel the state they’re in with that of a broken wing, something that can heal in time rather than something permanently broken. The trapped feeling of an addiction can feel very permanent, so hopefully this can be a positive light on the situation." - Trevor McNevan (Thousand Foot Krutch)
