Not Broken
She steps out the back door
And walks across the yard
Like walking a tightrope of razor blades
Life shouldn't ever be this hard
She walks along the edge of where the dirt meets the grass
And looks up to the sky
Falls to her knees in the garden where she plants her face in her hands
So no one can see her cry
She's broke but she's not broken
She's just trying to find her place
The sun is setting sooner
The nights are lonelier and longer
She lights another cigarette, takes a sip from her drink
Thinking man I wish the both of us were stronger
She's broke but she's not broken
She's just trying to find her way
She's just a worn out girl
Living in her worn down world
She's tired of trying and she's tired of the lying
When she always says she's fine
Someday everything will be alright
If she can just make it through and fight off the gloom
One day at a time
She's broke not broken
She slips into the car
Closes and locks the doors
Finding quarters in the back seat
But it's not the change she's looking for
Longing for that one way road that will take her out of this town
She's chasing bluer skies
She swears she's just one tank of gas away
From finding a brand new better life
She's broke but she's not broken
She's just trying to survive today
She's just a worn out girl
Living in her worn down world
She's tired of trying and she's tired of the lying
When she always says she's fine
Someday everything will be alright
If she can just make it through and fight off the gloom
One day at a time
She's broke not broken
She's just a worn out girl
Living in her worn down world
She's tired of crying and she's tired of the lying
When she always says she's fine
One day everything will be alright
If she can just pull through and fight off the gloom
For just one more night
She's broke not broken
And walks across the yard
Like walking a tightrope of razor blades
Life shouldn't ever be this hard
She walks along the edge of where the dirt meets the grass
And looks up to the sky
Falls to her knees in the garden where she plants her face in her hands
So no one can see her cry
She's broke but she's not broken
She's just trying to find her place
The sun is setting sooner
The nights are lonelier and longer
She lights another cigarette, takes a sip from her drink
Thinking man I wish the both of us were stronger
She's broke but she's not broken
She's just trying to find her way
She's just a worn out girl
Living in her worn down world
She's tired of trying and she's tired of the lying
When she always says she's fine
Someday everything will be alright
If she can just make it through and fight off the gloom
One day at a time
She's broke not broken
She slips into the car
Closes and locks the doors
Finding quarters in the back seat
But it's not the change she's looking for
Longing for that one way road that will take her out of this town
She's chasing bluer skies
She swears she's just one tank of gas away
From finding a brand new better life
She's broke but she's not broken
She's just trying to survive today
She's just a worn out girl
Living in her worn down world
She's tired of trying and she's tired of the lying
When she always says she's fine
Someday everything will be alright
If she can just make it through and fight off the gloom
One day at a time
She's broke not broken
She's just a worn out girl
Living in her worn down world
She's tired of crying and she's tired of the lying
When she always says she's fine
One day everything will be alright
If she can just pull through and fight off the gloom
For just one more night
She's broke not broken
