The Broken Ones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know they've hurt you bad
Why hide the scars you have?
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones
All your faults to me make you more beautiful
[Chorus]
I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
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
[Verse 2]
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 know they've hurt you bad
Why hide the scars you have?
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones
All your faults to me make you more beautiful
[Chorus]
I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
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 can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
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

Genius Annotation
Dia on “The Broken Ones”:
This song wrote itself, or so it seemed. It came so naturally. Lyrically, it’s about not only accepting “faults or flaws” people find in you or ones you love, but embracing them. It’s the quirks and weird things my friends do that I usually love. What others might find “broken,” I find charming. We’ve all gone through our uphill climbs, our own hardships. We all have a story…. In my life, and especially in many relationships, I have been drawn to people a little out of the box. We grow together and become better people. What makes us broken, is also what makes us perfect.
