Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm wondering how long I can get by (I can get by) Seems so wrong but I know I'll be alright (I'll be alright) [Pre-Chorus] Only been down for a minute Feels so long when I'm in it Holding on to the ticket Some things are hard to get Some nights that I regret But I'm cleaning up the mess [Chorus] ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why (Put me back together, put me back together) But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try (Put me back together, put me back together) [Verse 2] So caught up, I've got my back against the wall (Against the wall) Losing hope, I'm broke with no one else to call (No one else to call) [Pre-Chorus] Some things are hard to get Some nights that I regret But I'm cleaning up the mess [Chorus] ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why (Put me back together, put me back together) But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try (Put me back together, put me back together) ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why (Put me back together, put me back together) But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try (Put me back together, put me back together) [Interlude] One to ninety-nine years old Yeah, we all cry and we all hold on to what we can before it's gone Yeah, let me get a little technical You've got to understand, you've gotta love the world We've gotta work together and make each other whole [Chorus] ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why (Put me back together, put me back together) But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try (Put me back together, put me back together) [Outro] ​'Cause we're all just broken people and we don't know why (We've gotta hold on to what we can before it's gone) But we're keeping it together ​'cause we gotta try (We've gotta work together and make each other whole)
