Bruised But Not Broken

Joss Stone · New Album [2007]

Been a lot that I've been through

I cried a tear a time or two

Baby, you know I cried some over you

Had my heart kicked to the ground

Love ripped me up and tore me down, baby

But that ain't enough to break me

'Cause I'll rise above it

And I'll pick myself up

And I'll dust the pain off my heart



And I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised, but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised, but not broken



Been a lot of tear-stained nights

I thought the tears were here for life, baby

The hurt came on and held on tight

I took a chance

I took a fall

Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreams

But I won't be down on my knees

'Cause I'll rise above it

And I'll pick myself up

And I'll shake the rain out of my heart



And I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised, but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised, but not broken



Gonna pick my heart up

Take my life back

Shake the hurt away

Pull myself together



Put the pieces back in place

I learned love's so hard

Love left my soul scarred

I was shattered inside



And I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised, but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised, but not broken



See, I'll be alright

And I'll love again

And the wounds will mend

I'm bruised, but not broken

And the pain will fade

I'll get back on my feet

It's not the end of me

My heart is still open

I'm bruised, but not broken
