Broken But Not Yet Shattered –

I've been living painfully

Trying not to cry out

Into the darkness

Of the lies you weave around me

I've been locked away for so long

Unable to close my eyes

Against the nightmare

Of the lies you weave around me

Stronger than you thought me to be

I'm broken but not yet shattered

Hurting inside but I'll move on

I'm broken but not yet shattered

I've waited for too long

For you to come for me

In the shadows

Of the lies you weave around me

I've gazed off in the distance

Where I thought you'd be

Hidden by the veil

Of the lies you weave around me

Never wanna see you again

I'm broken but not yet shattered

Not coming back to you

I'm broken but not yet shattered
