I Am Broken Too
Embracing Brokenness: Shared Pain, Shared Strength
Lyrics
You carry this weight, trying to cover your mistakes
You bear the burden of mistakes, attempting to conceal them.
To make it seem like nothing could ever break you
Creating an illusion that nothing can ever harm or break you.
But I see right through 'cause I am broken too
Despite your efforts, I can see through your facade because I am also broken.
In all the same places as you
We share vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the same areas.
And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
If you doubt my struggles, I am willing to reveal my wounds as proof.
Reopen the wounds, yeah
This emphasizes the willingness to expose and share one's emotional pain.
I see myself in you (in you)
I recognize myself in you, acknowledging a common experience.
I know you can make it through
Expressing confidence in the other person's ability to overcome challenges.
If you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
Reiterating the offer to reveal personal wounds as evidence of shared struggles.
In all the right places for you
Highlighting specific areas of pain and vulnerability for the other person.
So now you see the truth that you are broken too
Now that you witness the truth, both of us are broken and share the experience.
I'll reopen my wounds for you
Committing to exposing one's wounds for the benefit of the other person.
I keep making the same mistakes, just to feel alive again
Admitting to repeatedly making the same mistakes in an attempt to feel alive.
It's the only way to break on through
Suggesting that breaking through challenges is the only way to truly live.
So stop numbing all the pain
Encouraging the other person to stop numbing their pain and face it directly.
'Cause it just won't go away (won't go away)
Stating that avoiding pain won't make it disappear; it needs to be confronted.
If you only knew how much I needed you
Expressing the depth of need for the other person's understanding and support.
And if you needed proof, I'd reopen my wounds (my wounds)
Reiterating the offer to reveal personal wounds as proof of shared struggles.
In all the right places for you
Identifying specific areas of pain and vulnerability for the other person.
I can see the truth (the truth) 'cause I am broken too
Asserting that the truth is evident because the speaker is broken just like the other person.
I am broken too, broken just like you
Reaffirming the commonality of being broken and sharing the same struggles.
