[Verse 1]
Once Broken you don’t go back the same.
I learned that line the hard way, babe.
Once you get hurt, you clock each face.
You read the room in a different place.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don’t lean so fast,
I don’t trust the first laugh.
I keep my heart in view,
Till I know what’s true.
[Chorus]
Once Broken, once Broken
I feel it in my bones
Once Broken, once Broken
I’m not that open
Once Broken your innocence goes away
Once someone won’t let you push them away
[Verse 2]
I used to give it all, no questions asked.
Now I count the signs that are moving fast.
A soft goodbye can still leave a scar,
So I watch the door when you get too far.
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don’t lean so fast,
I don’t trust the first laugh.
I keep my heart in view,
Till I know what’s true.
[Chorus]
Once Broken, once Broken
I feel it in my bones
Once Broken, once Broken
I’m not that open
Once Broken your innocence goes away
Once someone won’t let you push them away
[Bridge]
Maybe pain made space for truth,
Maybe that’s how I found you.
If you stay when the walls shake down,
I might learn to turn around.
[Final Chorus]
Once Broken, once Broken
I feel it in my bones
Once Broken, once Broken
I’m not that open
Once Broken your innocence goes away
Once someone won’t let you push them away
