[Verse] That old gate’s been hangin’ on a rusty chain Swayin’ slow in the evening rain Like the way you looked at me that night Wonderin’ if I’d do what’s right [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes things just fall apart But it don’t mean there’s a broken heart [Chorus] Broken gate, easy to mistake But it still swings when you give it a shake Trust is just a little bit of give and take Like that broken fence gate Yeah, that broken fence gate [Verse] We patched it up with a nail and a prayer Held it close like we still care It might creak, but it still holds tight Just like love in the pale moonlight [Pre-Chorus] Sometimes things just fall apart But it don’t mean there’s a broken heart [Chorus] Broken gate, easy to mistake But it still swings when you give it a shake Trust is just a little bit of give and take Like that broken fence gate Yeah, that broken fence gate [Bridge] So don’t close the gate just because it’s flawed Sometimes trust ain’t perfect but it’s worth it all Hold on tight, don’t let it fade away We’ll find a way, come what may [Chorus] Broken gate, easy to mistake But it still swings when you give it a shake Trust is just a little bit of give and take Like that broken fence gate Yeah, that broken fence gate [Outro] Like that broken fence gate It still swings for love’s sake
