[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Hey baby I see you, See all the pain you try to hide. I see the weight of the world In every step and every stride--- I know you’re tryin’ to be strong You never want me to see you fail But would I be so--- wrong~~ To finally be the one – To carry you-~~ [Chorus] We were all broken once But we don’t have to stay that way— Life’s not always kind---- And anyone can lose their way— We all have our demons to fight But we don’t have to fight alone We’re all just tryin’ to survive~ Tryin’ to heal from open wounds [Instrumental interlude] [Verse 2] Struggle was all we’ve ever known Nothing was easy Another day was all we ever hoped for Where we can try to touch our dreams. We don’t have to suffer in silence We don’t have to let this pain grow–~ We can never change our past~~ But maybe we can choose what happens next----- [Chorus] We were all broken once But we don’t have to stay that way— Life’s not always kind---- And anyone can lose their way— We all have our demons to fight But we don’t have to fight alone We’re all just tryin’ to survive~ Tryin’ to heal from open wounds [Instrumental interlude] [Bridge] You don’t have to feel resentful Know that you’re not trapped in sorrow You were not destroyed completely Hold on, there’s tomorrow [Soaring Chorus] We were all broken once But we don’t have to stay that way— Life’s not always kind---- And anyone can lose their way— We all have our demons to fight But we don’t have to fight alone We’re all just tryin’ to survive~ Tryin’ to heal from open wounds [Instrumental outro]
