Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I used to drink my dinner
Call it courage in a glass
Laugh too loud at nothing
Drag my ghosts from bar to bar
Kept my phone on silent
Just in case you tried to call
If I didn’t hear you leaving
Maybe you weren’t gone at all
[Chorus]
Yeah
Life broke me
Tore every page from my plans
Left me shaking
With empty pockets and hands
But in the pieces
I found a heart that could bend
Not bruise
Life broke me
Broke me better than I knew
[Verse 2]
I slept on my brother’s sofa
Counted cracks along the wall
Stack of final warnings
Red ink screaming by the door
Heard my father’s tired breathing
Through a cheap hotel phone line
Said
“Son
It hurts to watch you
Turn apologies to alibis” (oh)
[Chorus]
Yeah
Life broke me
Tore every page from my plans
Left me shaking
With empty pockets and hands
But in the pieces
I found a heart that could bend
Not bruise
Life broke me
Broke me better than I knew
[Bridge]
I learned to say
“I’m sorry”
And stay long enough to heal
I learned that I can love you
And still say what I need to feel
I’m not the man I wanted
I’m the man I made it through
Cut open by the truth
Stitched together next to you (yeah)
[Chorus]
‘Cause life broke me
Ripped every mask that I wore
Left me stranded
On the wrong side of the door
But in the wreckage
I found a soul that could stand in view
Life broke me
Broke me open
Just to make me
Make me whole enough for you
