I'm Not Broken

I may get sad and cry sometimes

Memories of what could have been

Thoughts of you still cross my mind

Sure I miss you now and then

I walk this road alone it seems

No two roads diverged for me

It’s true that I’ve been broken

But I’m not broke, my soul is free

Troubled times come for everyone

They make us stronger in the end

So my journey is not over

I’m not broke, I’m on the mend

I might have cried to think of you

But that was oh so long ago

Now I simply sip my tea

After all I’m the one who let you go

Troubled times come for everyone

They make us stronger in the end

So my journey is not over

I will not break, I’ve learned to bend

Life is a struggle and a blessing

Free will my curse and my gift

So I will always thank my Father

Say a prayer of thanks, my life to live

Troubled times come for everyone

They make us wise and make us strong

So if you’re thinking that you broke me

Let me tell you, you are wrong

So if you think that you broke me

I’m not broken, I’m simply free
