Broken Isn’t Dead

Broken Isn’t Dead
Verse 1
I wear my cracks like a second skin,
Every scar’s got a story carved within.
They said I bent, yeah, maybe I did,
But I never stayed down — I never quit.
The mirror shows things I don’t forget,
But it also shows I’m breathing yet.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been dragged through the dark, felt the weight of the fall,
But I learned how to stand with my back to the wall.
Chorus
I’m broken, not dead (not dead), hear my heartbeat pound,
Still kicking up dust on this battleground.
I’ve been torn apart, but I’m still ahead,
Yeah, I’m broken, not dead (not dead).
Every bruise is proof I bled and I bled,
But I’m still right here — broken isn’t dead.
(Still alive, still alive)
Verse 2
I stitched myself up with shaking hands,
No clean escapes, no perfect plans.
I lost some faith, I lost some friends,
But I found out how much pain can bend.
The road’s been cruel, but it didn’t win,
I crawled through hell and came back in.
Pre-Chorus
They tried to write me off, close the book,
But I’m more than the damage they took.
Chorus
I’m broken, not dead (not dead), hear my heartbeat pound,
Still kicking up dust on this battleground.
I’ve been torn apart, but I’m still ahead,
Yeah, I’m broken, not dead (not dead).
Every bruise is proof I bled and I bled,
But I’m still right here — broken isn’t dead.
(Still alive, still alive)
Bridge
If survival’s a war, then I paid my dues,
Learned how to stand with nothing to lose.
I don’t need fixing to prove I’m strong,
I just keep moving, right or wrong.
(Whoa-oh — I rise again)
Chorus
I’m broken, not dead (not dead), hear my heartbeat roar,
Every step forward’s a win in this war.
I’ve been knocked down hard, but I’m not misled,
Yeah, I’m broken, not dead (not dead).
Let the world see the truth I’ve said,
I’m still breathing — broken isn’t dead.
(Still alive, still alive)
Outro
I may shake, I may bend instead,
But I draw the line at giving in.
Say it loud, let it spread —
I’m still here… broken isn’t dead.
