Rene - The Alchemist Lyrics

I couldn't fix a broken heart
I couldn't numb the pain
Still running from the rain

I wasn't always bulletproof
I had a heart that broke in two
That everyone could see right through
So like an alchemist
Or a mad, mad scientist
I built something Frankensteinian
Something so unfamiliar
That no one could believe it was true

I couldn't fix a broken heart
I couldn't numb the pain
Still running from the rain
An empty bottle couldn't fill an empty heart
I'll still raise a glass up to the stars
This is the last round before the sun

I thought we'd always have forever
Tried to piece it back together
But the fading of the ember
Brought the coldest of Decembers
So like an alchemist
Or a mad, mad scientist
I took that ember in my hand
And set off on a disastrous plan

I couldn't fix a broken heart
I couldn't numb the pain
Still running from the rain
An empty bottle couldn't fill an empty heart
I'll still raise a glass up to the stars
This is the last round before the sun

And when I was an alchemist (searched high and low)
Everyone expected gold (you were gold)
Now I carry the weight of this (we were gold)
Heavy heart on a road back home (take me home)
To the place I feel I'm not alone (not alone)
Where my heart can be reborn (time to grow)

I couldn't fix a broken heart
I couldn't numb the pain
Still running from the rain
An empty bottle couldn't fill an empty heart
I'll still raise a glass up to the stars
This is the last round before the sun
