Cracked and Broken Things

Cracked and broken things held together by the glue
that life goes on and so should you
I haven’t always wanted to
Cracked and broken things
wasted skin and heart
Yet every broken part
is willing once again to start
There’s beauty in the brokenness
It’s really how you look at it
The little cracks let in the light
I’d love to be with you tonight
I’d show you a tenderness
being broken taught me this
Every smile and every kiss
is better for the brokenness
Cracked and broken things
long ago I learned to live
with all the hurt I can’t forgive
and a small scar I think I came with
Cracked and broken things
vision blurred and nerves on high
But every broken sigh
is willing once again to try
I drowned the dark in alcohol
until it made no sense at all
But every tear and every wish
is better for the brokenness
