What do you do when you're stuck
Because the one that you love
Has pushed you away
And you can't deal with the pain
And now you're trying to fix me
Mend what he did
And find the piece that I'm missing
But I still miss him
I miss him, I'm missing him
Oh I miss him, I miss him I'm missing him

And you're sitting in the front row
Wanna be first in line
Waiting by my window
Giving me all your time
You could be my hero
If only I could let go
But his love is still in me
Like a broken arrow
Like a broken arrow

He's the thorn in my flesh
That I can't take out
He's stealing my breath
When you're around
And now you're trying to convince me
He wasn't worthy
But you can't complete me
He's the part that is missing
I miss him, I'm missing him
Oh I miss him I miss him, I'm missing him

And you're sitting in the front row
Wanna be first in line
Waiting by my window
Giving me all your time
You could be my hero
If only I could let go
But his love is still in me
Live a broken arrow
Like a broken arrow

What do you do
When your hearts in two places?
You feel great but you're torn inside
You feel love but you just can't embrace it
When you found the right one at the wrong time

And you're
Sitting in the front row
Wanna be first in line
Waiting by my window
Giving me all your time
You could be my hero
If only I could let go
But his love is still in me
Like a broken arrow
Like a broken arrow
Ooh oohh ooh oohh
Yeah
Ohh
