Broken de Laurie Anderson

You say: where have you been?
i say: nowhere
you say: there, you're doing it again
you know i can't keep, i can't keep
i can't keep doing this
i wanted our life to be so sweet
to live on harmony
but there are so many things
you just don't want to hear anymore from me
you know i can't keep doing this, i can't keep,
i can't keep doin' this
where did it go, the heat?
i can't keep doin' this
i wanted to tell you so many things
but i lost my voice somewhere along the way
i think to myself where did it go?
maybe it lives somewhere
outside the city and it's waiting for me there
all i have to do is say the word
and it will come back to me, it will come back to me
but i can't even recall
how to ask something as big as that
you say: what are you thinking now?
i say: nothing
you say: there, you're doing it again
how did you get to be my conscience?
you know i can't keep, i can't keep
i can't keep doing this
where did it go, the heat?
silence can be a beautiful thing
but only when it can by broken by a kind word
with a soft word
with a word
our love unspoken
our love lies broken
