Broken

Story Behind The Song

Written because all my life I've thought I was "broken" because of the deterioration of my family situation, so this is a song about recognizing I'm ok the way I am and I've made it through some crappy stuff but I've chosen to live life happily and healthily, regardless of the past

Lyrics

here comes another sad song about you
but this is it... cuz after this,
i'm through
no more self-inflicted damage...

woke up with that feeling of living in a room with a 2 foot ceiling
phone is ringing, now i'm bleeding
you threw that punch without a care

broken... broken... broken
broken... broken... choking on the hope i'm not...

you're a wreaking ball with a loaded mouth
cut me in half when you cut me out
how do you manage
so much damage?
once it's shot it can't be stopped
a bullet's hard and i am soft
i'm taking this bullseye off my heart

Chorus

Chance of a lifetime
Waits just outside my door
You say, "I won't do it anymore..."
Yea, I've heard it all before
So, go ahead and laugh, go ahead...
I know you don't believe
That I'm finally breaking free
But what you'll never get
Is that I'm doin this for me
Instrumental
No, I'm not broken... broken... broken
Broken...broken
Never have been, never was then, never again, never will be....
