Story Behind The Song
In a world that often celebrates the wins while glossing over the struggle, "Almost Broken" brings us back to what it truly means to be human. This soul-stirring new release tells the story of a man brought to the edge--where dreams have shattered, failure has loomed large, and the weight of life has nearly crushed his spirit. But in the darkness, one light never fades: the unwavering love of the woman beside him.
"Almost Broken" is more than just a song--it's a raw, emotional journey through the heart of despair and the healing power of love. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of a man who has poured everything into chasing purpose, only to be met with closed doors and mounting setbacks. He questions his worth. He stares down hopelessness. He feels the sting of defeat so deep, he nearly lets go. But he doesn't. Because she won't let him.
At the center of this emotional storm is his wife--a powerful source of hope, whose belief in him never wavers. Her love is not loud or flashy, but it's fierce. It's present in the small gestures, the whispered encouragements, and the way she sees the man he's forgotten he can be. Her faith doesn't erase his pain, but it offers a reason to keep going. And sometimes, that's everything.
As the chorus swells, "Almost Broken" becomes a powerful inspiration for anyone who's ever stood at the edge and found a reason to take one more step forward. The melody aches and soars, perfectly reflecting the push and pull of a man caught between giving up and holding on. It reminds us that strength doesn't always look like resilience--it sometimes looks like leaning on someone else when you can't stand on your own.
This song resonates deeply because it's not just about struggle--it's about survival. It's about the kind of love that doesn't flinch in the face of hardship. The kind that chooses you not just at your best, but most fiercely when you're at your worst.

Lyrics
Verse 1
I wish that things were different
something better in their stead
Another day of battles fought
And things unsaid
Tired of pretending things are alright
Growing weary of the rain
I wish things had been different
The only friend I've known is pain
A broken promise, maybe
Or something worse instead
The miles are getting longer
Please come and take me home
Chorus
Runnin' out of patience
Runnin' out of places to hide
Not sure I can take it
Like I lost that light in my eyes
Been runnin' from the Devil
Like he's got me square in his sights
Not sure I can make it
Feels like I'm losing the fight
Your love's the only thing keepin' me alive
Yeah I'm almost broken, but not tonight
Verse 2
Fell so far from grace though I didn't know why
All my fight disappeared and lost the will to try
Built these walls so high that I couldn't get out
Faith was gone and heart grew heavy with weight of doubt
Been down so long I couldn't rise
A life of pain behind blue eyes
I wish I never lived this day
I wish I'd never come this way
I should have been a stronger one
Almost broken, almost done
Bridge
But when I'm at the edge and ready to fall
She gives me the strength to stand up tall
Even in the darkest depths of that day
Her love was the fire that showed me the way
She picked up the pieces and made me whole
Together we paid a heavy toll
My love for her will never fade
A promise kept of a promise made
Chorus
Runnin' out of patience
Runnin' out of places to hide
Not sure I can take it
Like I lost that light in my eyes
Been runnin' from the Devil
Like he's got me square in his sights
Not sure I can make it
Feels like I'm losing the fight
Your love's the only thing keepin' me alive
Yeah I'm almost broken, but not tonight
Outro
I was almost gone, almost lost,
But she refused to let me pay the cost
I can never repay her love that day
By her side I'll always stay
Yeah, I was almost broken if not for her
