Broken - From Ashes to New

I’m standing in the dark

I’ve been damaged from the start

But I know it in my heart

That I won’t be, be broken

You pushed me off to that dark space

Between a rock and a hard place

You hoped you found what would slow me down

But there ain’t no stopping my heart rate

It could’ve been easy to part ways

But now you just feed me this parfait

Of bullshit with your lies mixed in

You can keep your games at the arcade

It’s nothing new to me, what you do to me

I’ve seen it all time and time again

I had to fall for me to find my head

I’m staying true to me, yeah, I know who to be

It might be hard for you to comprehend

That where we are in life is not the end

I’m standing in the dark

I’ve been damaged from the start

But I know it in my heart

That I won’t be, be broken

Be broken

Be broken

Who would I be if I gave in?

Didn’t believe in my statements?

I dimmed the lights and I hid from life

And just buried the dreams that I’m chasing?

Who would I be if I wasted

Days and weeks in the basement?

If I up and quit and said, «Fuck this shit»

How would I reach amazing?

It’s nothing new to me, what you do to me

I’ve seen it all time and time again

I had to fall for me to find my head

I’m staying true to me, yeah, I know who to be

It might be hard for you to comprehend

That where we are in life is not the end

I’m standing in the dark

I’ve been damaged from the start

But I know it in my heart

That I won’t be, be broken

Be broken

Be broken

When the walls are closing in around me

When the walls are closing in around me

Can I escape from my surroundings?

I was standing in the dark

I was damaged from the start

But I knew it in my heart

That I won’t be broken

I was standing in the dark

I was damaged from the start

But I knew it in my heart

That I won’t be, be broken

Be broken

Be broken
