Broken, But Learning

There are things you can't take back

There are places you can never leave

There are things you don't forget

There are places that you shouldn't be

...but what's the fun in that?

I may not know the way today,

but the journey is through once it's shown to you

And if I didn't look for answers,

what else would I do?

There are some things you won't leave behind

There are some things you refuse to find

All may be damaged that stands before your God

But nothing's beautiful until it's flawed

Don't miss a bridge 'til it starts burning

Can't fight the tide 'til it starts turning

I'll never be more than what I am

I'm broken, but I'm learning

Now at the end of the road, I'm beginning to find

It's not where you go, it's what you've left behind

and the scars don't mean a thing right now

it's the stories that make them mine

'Cause not everything is in plain sight

and not a goddamn thing's in black and white

You're the one not screaming

You tell me if I'm all right

Do you know what it means when all you've loved is a lie

and everything around you is starting to die?

Just enjoy it and go along for the ride

It's another day just passing by

Now every bridge is fucking burning

and every tide is fucking turning

What a great day to be alive!

I'm broken, but I'm learning...
