I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole
Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
That came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this
Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole
Tower over me
Tower over me
...and I'll take the truth at any cost.
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Review about We Are Broken Well done Paramore =D | Reviewer: alexx | 11/23/09
I absolutely adore this song. I think it can relate to many things. I think it can relate to things like homeless people, sick people, the war frmo soldiers point of views, or just people in general and the way the see the world.
The lyrics are absoluteellyyy amazing and it really touches your heart everytime you listen to it and think of those people out there praying to God as He is the only hope they have left.
when i first heard this song, i kept on listening to it and right now i question myself..why am i luky and not others?? this song really reminisces us that there are people out there that needs our help and everyone of us can do something for the good of the others. if we can beat the pain on the other side, let's all hope for a better future that's waiting for us.

"this song is freaking beautiful.
when i heard it live - after hayley told everyone the true meaning behind it - it gave me massive goosbumps and i actually felt like crying. its so sad, strong and so real.
I see this song as homeless people, living in poverty, praying to God and asking why they live like that. It's so sad knowing that there really are people out there that live like that, and who prayer to God every day to keep them safe."
Tbh I never knew what this song meant to her, because well she DID write it so it must hve some reason. Some people have with breakups and heartbreak but "we" are broken, that wouldn't make much sense, you see?
But now I know the real reason it makes me feel pretty grateful of what I have, and never ask for anything that it just selfish :'(
If anybody feels the same, leave a comment. :')
I love this song | Reviewer: Terri | 7/10/09
This song is something that just makes me feel happy and sad it makes me wanna cry haley really is an amazing person she is an awesome writer too she really grabs emotions and rings them dry so the song leaves a mark i just really love this song it makes me feel safe too "keep me safe inside your arms like towers tower over me." I love it
I love the song 'We Are Broken' and now that I know the true meaning behind it, it's so much more touching and emotional. I think it could really mean a lot to people who are gong through an immense imotional time. The line 'we're at war, we live like this' is devestating because some people truly do live like this and it shouldn't happen in this world. This song makes me cry.

wow I love this song!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/09
wow this song reminds me of the twilight seirise because the "your arms like towers, tower over me..." it reminds me of Bella and Edward because Edward is so protective of Bella and that's what it reminds me of. Anyways if u think it reminds you of that then please comment about that!
wow. | Reviewer: katie:] | 4/6/09
well im doing a project on ann frank and, this song pretty much sums it up. Living in secret, being discriminated against, and the terrible conditions that adults and children alike had to face. I feel like crying. Most songs today are about shallow, stupid things, and than there are songs like this. Songs with meaning that touch everyone who hears them

"keep me safe inside
your arms like towers,
tower over me"
that almost made me cry, because its like they're are really praying to God, and asking him to keep them safe and to protect them. They are counting on him.
and
"What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored"
I reckon its kninda like they were promised heaps of things by like the government and stuff, but they never got it. they're asking why they should be like this, why should they be so different from everyone else, they just want to be normal.
its so so sad. it makes you feel much much worse for famillies living under poverty.
I love these kinda of songs, the ones that revolve around contempary issues and they come from their point of view. like the song "cancer" by my chemical romance. thats extremely sad. if you havent' heard it...go look at the lyrics.
they're singing about someone dying of cancer and kinda discribing what it feels like (like this song)
so sad. well done paramore (Y) so clever.

WOW | Reviewer: Megan | 10/22/08
this song is amazing!!! i saw paramore live and this was so beautiful. everyone has the choose was battle you could be fighting for if its for God, a relationship, anything that inside you are fighting for. To me its my fight for God and how i know He's there and keeping me safe. Even though this world is full of all these different challenges. Put He will always love us no matter what.
Its for everybody | Reviewer: Izzieee | 9/23/08
This song is amazing. It works for everybody in different ways. For me it was because i've been with my boyfriend for a year, and in 10 days im moving to Africa and we have to break up. These past few weeks he's been detatching himself because he thinks it will be too hard to act like he cares. He love me but he's hurting to much to show it. and i just want what we had back. thats why this song is sad for me. i just want the innocence back, cause he's cheatde on me and i've had to have an abortion. i want what we had. thats why its sad. god im waffling on!
but yeah, let it work for you, dont listen to what others want you to think of it as.
