own the broken (lyrics)
[verse]
Some days the good times slip
and I watch you fade back to grey
lost in thoughts I can't read
and it feels like you're losing
another failure to add to the collection
that you count in the dark
when the good times
refuse to stay
[Chorus]
Own the parts of you
that are broken
remember the darkness
how it wrapped itself around you
so tightly you wanted to die
remember that you survived
you braved that hell
and made it to the other side
(made it to the other side)
[Verse 2]
It's hard to remember better days
when the storm clouds won't leave
and the only colours left
are blue and black and grey
[Verse 3]
Hold onto the memories
that spark like a lighter in this darkness
you've held better days
held the sunlight in your hands
and remembered how to smile
with a joy that is genuine
[Bridge]
Don't let that go
when temptation whispers
sweet oblivion
on this bad day
bad week
bad month
bad year
[Chorus]
Own the parts of you
that are broken
remember the darkness
how it wrapped itself around you
so tightly you wanted to die
remember that you survived
you braved that hell
and made it to the other side
(made it to the other side)
[Bridge]
(There are worse places to go back to
than this bad day )
[Verse 4]
It's hard to remember better days
when the storm clouds won't leave
and the only colours left
are blue and black and grey
[Verse 5]
Hold onto the memories
that spark like a lighter in this darkness
you braved that hell
and made it to the other side
[Outro]
There are worse places to go back to
than this bad day
