Lyrics for Broken (Seether featuring Amy Lee) as interpreted by Angelove

Broken (Seether featuring Amy Lee) Lyrics
I wanted to know, I love the way you laugh
I want to hold you high, and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, and I know it serves me well
I want to hold you high, and steal your pain.

'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.

You gotta win, you don't feel me anymore.

The worst is over now, and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, and steal my pain away
There is so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high, and steal your pain.

'Coz Im broken, when I'm open
And I feel like that I'm strong enough
'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.

'Coz I'm broken, when I'm open
And I don't feel like that I'm strong enough
'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.

'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.

'Coz I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone.

You gotta win, you don't feel me anymore.

I love this song! It's kinda hard 4 me to understand this song,though.Amy's voice is so beautiful.I have Never heard another voice anywhere close to hitting the high notes as beautifully as she does.This song would be nothing without Seether and Amy on this song.It's just so beautiful I can't even shut up.Anyway...this song KICKS SERIOUS ASS!!!! BEST SONG EVER!!! EVANESCENCE ROCKS DUDE!!!

Acutally these lyrics are incorrect, who would say "You gotta win" when its really "You've gone away" Here are the correct lyrics:

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

'Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right, when you're gone away

You've gone away, you don't feel me, anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe 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

'Cause I'm broken, when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right, when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken, when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right, when you're gone away

'Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right, when you're gone away

You've gone away
You don't feel me here, anymore

This is the most awesome song, Amy Lee has the best voice and Seether can actually sing! So few guy singers these days actually have good voices....

I love this song! And not to brag or anything but I can't help mentioning I am a lyric soprano and can reach the high notes really well and I've taped myself singing to the song and Amy and I sing in perfect harmony... we should do a song together... lol. Not that any of you care. I'm babbling aren't I?
Anywho, IIKatigerII I think the lyrics you put are right but according to my sheet music the one line "you've gone away" is in there as "you're gone away"
Just thought I'd mention that since that is what my sheet music says, even though it sounds like "you've gone away"
Okay, I'm stopping now. Don't worry...

"The worst is over now, and we can breath again"
-Good for someone who is trying to recover from something.

"There's so much left too learn, but no one left to fight"
-Anybody know the meaning to this metaphor?

by the way: it's "and no one left to fight", not "but no one left to fight". And i love this music video.

I think it's about two people who love each other, but neither know where to turn to for help, so they turn to each other. They want to lift each other out of the hole so badly, but dont have the mental ablility to do so.
I was in this situation once. Both me and my boy friend had problems, but loved each other. We'd try to lift each other, but had so many problems of our own, we could only do so much. And in the end, it wasn't enough. *wipes tear*

in response to the "there's so much left to learn and no one left to fight"
to me this means that even though there is still more to know, there's no where left to find it... it seems that you have to fite to know more and if there is no one to fight than how can you get it...by the way..love this site...its a great place to discuss the meaning
no one i know is able to discuss it wiht me..i used to do it wiht my best freind but we no longer speak....and besides she always got the wrong idea and always hated the best songs...well peace

n0kturnaldoll -- I hope you realize this IS the original song?? Seether's recording company cut Amy out of it originally because they didn't think it would sell with a female vocalist (this was pre-Evanescence-fame days). After Ev started getting bigger and showed them up on that, Seether remade the song with Amy in it.

I think it's much, MUCH better with teh Ames. Her voice works so well with Shaun's... Too bad they've split, it takes away the possibility that any more collaborations will happen.

This song is definitely amazing.
I can't believe anyone would think Amy Lee's voice sucks...
Eh, but that's your own opinion, buddy.
With or without "the Ames" ^_^
This song is brilliant.

i think the song is about a lost love. they talk in pastense. it's like a conversation between each other. as if the lost one was a ghost. and the alive one could see them. it is a sad love song. but i'm a fan of it.

sorry LaDiablo but this is not the original song. The original song was JUST seether, in fact it's about his baby girl and wife before he left. Amy was only added after they sold him the idea by convincing him the song would have some significance in the film but it didn't and he wasn't best pleased, it's in an interview somewhere. That whole amy was supposed to be in it from the start wasn't even known by Seether till Amy told him they wanted her to be in it but changed their minds. Not that I hate this version I just prefer the original as it's more raw than this one.

Baby_black: I'm sorry, I should have been more clear. You're right, this isn't the original. But it is how the band initially wanted the song to be on Disclaimer. From the Evboard FAQ: " When Seether was making Disclaimer in 2002, the band wanted Amy Lee to collaborate before the world ever knew about Evanescence. The label balked at the idea until two years later when the Punisher’s soundtrack was compiled."
