Broken Home
Verse 1
I remember voices through the walls,
Fighting through the night until the morning falls.
I would hide beneath the sheets and pray,
For peace to come and take the pain away.
Mom and Dad, they never got along,
Love was lost before I came along.
Tears would fill the quiet of the night,
(And I'd wonder if we'd ever get it right.)
Chorus
This broken home, these shattered walls,
Taught me how to stand, even when I fall.
A heart made of pieces, (I carry on,)
'Cause I learned to be strong in a place I don't belong.
I'll build my own, a place to call my own,
Away from this broken home.
Verse 2
I remember every slammed door,
Dreaming of a life where I could ask for more.
But every crack in the floorboards speaks,
Of all the love we couldn't keep.
You said that home is where the heart should be,
But I learned it's not always a sanctuary.
So I'll pick up the pieces that you left behind,
And create a place where the sun will always shine.
Chorus
This broken home, these shattered walls,
Taught me how to stand, even when I fall.
A heart made of pieces, (I carry on,)
'Cause I learned to be strong in a place I don't belong.
I'll build my own, a place to call my own,
Away from this broken home.
Bridge
I won't be defined by what I've seen,
I'll build something better, something clean.
From every tear, from every fight,
I'll find my way into the light.
Chorus
This broken home, these shattered walls,
Taught me how to stand, even when I fall.
A heart made of pieces, (I carry on,)
'Cause I learned to be strong in a place I don't belong.
I'll build my own, a place to call my own,
Away from this broken home.
Outro
Yeah, I'll build my own, where love will always grow,
Far away from this broken home.
