BROKEN

Wake up to a sunny day, not a cloud up in the sky
Then it starts to rain, my defenses hit the ground
And they shatter all around, so open and exposed
I found strength in the struggle
Face to face with my trouble

When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken

Little girl don't be so blue
I know what you're going through
Don't let it beat you up
Heaven knows that getting scars
Only makes you who you are
Only makes you who you are
No matter how much your heart is aching
There is beauty in the breaking
Yeah

When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken

Better days are gonna find you once again
Every piece will find its place

When you're broken, when you're broken

When you're broken in a million little pieces
And you're trying but you can't hold on anymore
Every tear falls down for a reason
Don't you stop believing in yourself
When you're broken
Oh, when you're broken
When you're broken
When you're broken


BROKEN BRIDGES

There are bridges on life’s highway
But we never see them there
Some cross troubled waters
Some don’t go nowhere

Some you wouldn’t step on
If you’re trying to save your soul
One comes with a keeper
When it’s time to pay the toll

Some aren’t meant to last forever
Some are made of stone
Some are meant to cross together
Some you go alone

Some the slightest wind can send them
Crashing to the ground
I set our bridge on fire
But I could not burn it down

And here I am
Praying for forgiveness
And I can see you
Standing on the other side
And here I go (here I go)
Baby, it’s a heavy load (it’s a heavy load)
And I have crossed some broken bridges in my time

Now here I am (now here I am)
Praying for forgiveness.
(Praying for forgiveness)
I can see you (oh, I can see you)
Standing on the other side
(Standing on the other side)
Here I go (now here I go)
And buddy it’s a heavy load
(Baby, it’s a heavy load)
And I have crossed some broken bridges in my time
(Crossed some broken bridges in my time)
Yes, I have crossed some broken bridges in my time

After you realize all the good things that are happening in your life, its time to let go of the bad. Focusing on the bad wont get you anywhere, except for deeper in your downward spiral. Change your mindset, and you will change your world. Make a list of all the negative things going on in your life, and next to each one write a sentence why it's no longer worth worth worrying about, and why you must let it go. Each and everyone one of us goes through hard times in life. The rich, the poor, the middle class, no matter who you are you will experience times of joy, and times of despair. But the thing that determines who we are is how we survive. Do you take flight or do you stand and fight to make a change. If you are reading this right now, I promise you, you have the power to get whatever you want out of life. Let go of the bad when it comes, realize what you have going for you, and go out and get it.
