Built from Breaks

I've hurt the ones who try to love me right

Ran back to the past just to lose another fight

Said I was fine when I was falling apart

Built up walls and called it a heart

I stayed too long when I knew I should leave

Held on to lies cause the truth cut deep

But I'm not proud of every choice I made

But I've earned every piece of the woman I became

I'm built from breaks, not just the pretty parts

From shattered glass and healing scars

I bled, I bent, I lost my way

But I found myself in the cracks I made

You see the strength in my stained colored glass

This heart still beating, built from breaks

I wiped my tears before they hit the floor

Put on a smile they never questioned me for

Cooked dinner with storms in my chest

Tucked in babies while my soul needed rest

Buried old dreams so new ones could breathe

Didn't get stronger just by chance

I earned every inch of this second chance

I'm built from breaks, not just the pretty parts

From shattered glass and healing scars

I bled, I bent, I lost my way

But I found myself in the cracks I made

You see the strength in my stained colored glass

This heart still beating, built from breaks

Don't call me perfect, don't call me brave

Just know I'm still standing on what didn't cave

Took every fall to stand this tall

And I'd do it again just to have it all

I'm built from breaks, not just the good days

From all the nights I had to find my own way

I bled, I bent, I lost, I stayed

And somehow love still found its way

You see the strength in my stained colored glass

This heart still beating, built from breaks

Thanks for watching
