Jack and Ianto Songs

"Broken" by Lifehouse

Song Title: Broken
Artist: Lifehouse
Album: Who We Are
Written by: Jason Wade
POV: Ianto

Thoughts: This is a WoobieIanto song (and I only mean that in a "Ianto is hurting" way) – Ianto is broken and in pain after the events of Cyberwoman and the only thing he has left to hold on to is Jack; alternately Ianto is broken and in pain after Jack leaves and is holding onto the thought of Jack.



Lyrics Excerpt:
The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you
