It is just as if the trees have sensed the state line And grow taller on the side where I belong And if that is not enough to welcome me back I am wanted by the arms that I call home This endless road is haunted and it makes me feel so small So take me in your arms Tell me it's alright Tell me that the two of us will sleep soundly tonight Say that's all we need Convince me I am strong And I will stand inside your words and let them hold me up But I am never not broken by it all We like to say that some things take a village But our villages got swallowed by the towns And our towns all have their dreams of bigger cities So I guess that no-one's never lonely now All of my words are haunted by the fear I don't belong So take me in your arms Tell me it's alright Tell me that the two of us will sleep soundly tonight Say that's all we need Convince me I am strong And I will stand inside your words and let them hold me up But I am never not broken by it all And I will lay my body down and break again if it will help And though I pick the pieces up I know I have more power here On the ground But I will get back up And say that it's alright That I have faith the two of us will sleep soundly tonight I'll say that's all we need And that I know I'm strong And I will stand inside those words and let them hold me up But I am never not broken I am never not broken I will never not be broken by it all

I can feel a hole inside my heart A thousand missing pieces, lost and torn apart Every teardrop's covering my eyes I stumble through the darkness, looking for the light . I don't know how long this will last But I'll keep fighting till the very end I may be bruised, but I'm not broken I may be tired, but I'm alive And I believe, with arms wide open This heart can love, I'm not broken I may be bruised, but I'm not broken I may be tired, but I'm alive And I believe, with arms wide open This heart can love, I'm not broken There's a day when all our hearts will mend The pieces that we've been missing will be restored again But till that day I'll take the parts of me The ones I held together, and where love will lead I may be bruised, but I'm not broken I may be tired, but I'm alive And I believe, with arms wide open This heart can love, I'm not broken I may be bruised, but I'm not broken I may be tired, but I'm alive And I believe, with arms wide open This heart can love, I'm not broken

Giving you, giving you, give till it's gone Then the people you fight hard is forsake your wrong Before me flash all of my memories and days So don't stand in sincere at the side of my grave I will not be broken I won't be turned away When it's too cold to breathe And too dark to pray I will not be broken I go too far then I go further still Time starts to clash, leaves a void none can fill Nothing you can say to hurt me with your fork tongue Through blood shot eyes I watch the world come undone I will not be broken I won't be turned away When it's too cold to breathe And it's too dark to pray I've come too far to give up Or to be turned around I will not be broken I will not bow down I will not be broken I won't be turned away When it's too cold to breathe And it's too dark to pray I've come too far to give up Or to be turned around I will not be broken I will not bow down
