I know they've hurt you bad
Why hide the scars you have
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones
All you faults to me make you more beautiful

I can't help it, I love the broken ones
The ones who need the most patching up
The ones who've never been loved
Never been loved
Never been loved enough

Maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece always trying to fit in
The shattered heart hungry for a home
No you're not alone
I love the broken ones

You don't have to drive with your headlights off
It's a pocketknife, not a gift from God
Don't you learn of love from the love they kept
I will be your anchor slowly, step by step

I can't help it, I love the broken ones
The ones who need the most patching up
The ones who've never been loved
Never been loved
Never been loved enough

Maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece always trying to fit in
The shattered heart hungry for a home
No you're not alone
I love the broken ones

Maybe we can rip off the bandage
Maybe you will see it for what it is
Maybe we can burn this building
Holding you in

I can't help it, I love the broken ones
The ones who need the most patching up
The ones who've never been loved
Never been loved
Never been loved enough

Maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece always trying to fit in
The shattered heart hungry for a home
No you're not alone
I love the broken ones
I love the broken ones
I love the broken ones
I love the broken ones
