YOU AINT BROKEN
copyright john common
Life can be so mean and cruel
Make you feel like such a fool
Take you back to middle school
Lost your way, Lost your cool
You left your heart open wide
Someone shoved a knife inside
So you filled the hole with wounded pride
No one knows the scars you hide
You’re not a lover, you’re not a friend
You won’t ever trust again,
Took your bitter medicine
Washed it down with could’ve been’s
But when you come to something tough
And you don’t think you’re strong enough
Remember…
You aint broken, You aint broken
You aint broken, You’re just scared
I know you wanna hide, I know you wanna run
But when you wanna run, stay right there
You aint broken, you’re just scared
You’re sealed off, you’re shut down
You’re breakin’ hearts all over town
You wear your scars like a crown
No one ever turns you into their clown
You’re made of stone, you’re made of steel
You know the game, you know the deal
You’re in control now, hand on the wheel
Drive away ‘cause people don’t heal
But when you come to something tough
And you don’t think you’re strong enough
Remember…
You aint broken, You aint broken
You aint broken, You’re just scared
I know you wanna hide, I know you wanna run
But when you wanna run, stay right there
You aint broken, you’re just scared

JOHN COMMON Denver
Confession: I like broken shit. I’m just drawn to it. Always have been. I like it even more if it used to be shiny, beautiful, innocent or full of promise. See, the way down is so interesting to me. The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
