We were not dead, but seriously broken
In the shadows of our hearts we were choking
Lost in a world that seemed so unkind
Searching for solace we could never find
(Chorus)
We were not dead, but seriously broken
The words left unspoken, the promises broken
In a sea of despair, we were drifting away
Yearning for light at the end of the day
In the silence, our voices were muted
In the darkness, our dreams were uprooted
Holding on to the fragments of yesterday
Trying to make sense of the price we pay
(Chorus)
We were not dead, but seriously broken
The words left unspoken, the promises broken
In a sea of despair, we were drifting away
Yearning for light at the end of the day
(Bridge)
But in the wreckage, there's a flicker of hope
A glimmer of love that helps us cope
From the ashes, we can rise once more
Find our strength in the moments we sore
(Chorus)
We were not dead, but seriously broken
The words left unspoken, the promises broken
In a sea of despair, we were drifting away
Yearning for light at the end of the day
(Outro)
We were not dead, but seriously broken
Through the pain and the hurt, a new path is spoken
Together we'll stand, we'll learn how to fight
For in our brokenness, we find our light.
