Sweeney:
I
wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you
high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know
it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Sweeney
wanted to tell Nellie It was just the biggest mistake he ever made
that he cheated on her
he just loved the way she Laughed
he
just wanted to take all her pain away
Sweeney kept the photograph
he had of Nellie
because it made him feel good
Cause
I'm broken when I am lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're
gone away
Sweeney
was just so broken up inside
and he was lonesome
and felt alone
when Nellie wasn't around
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore
Since Nellie left him, he didn't feel her there anymore
Nellie:
The
worst is over now and we can breath again
I wanna hold you high,
you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn, and no one
left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
Nellie
was looking out of the window
the worst was over now
she could
breathe again
Nellie wanted to hold Sweeney high and steal his
pain away
there were still so much things to Learn and not to
fight
she wanted to steal Sweeney's Pain away
Cause
I'm broken when I am open
And I don't feel like I am strong
enough
Cause I'm broken when I am lonesome
And I don't feel
right when you're gone away
Nellie
was always careful with opening up towards someone
it was just so
hard because they always broke her hart
Nellie thought she wasn't
strong enough
because she was just so lonesome
since Sweeney
was gone
Both:
Cause
I'm broken when I am open
And I don't feel right, though I am
strong enough
Cause I'm broken when I am lonesome
And I don't
feel right when you're gone away
They
were both broken
they knew what the other one felt
they only
felt right when they were together
Then they weren't Lonesome
any more
Cause
I'm broken when I'm lonesome You've gone away, you don't feel me anymore
And I don't feel right when you're
gone
