(I'm broke, but I'm not broken)<br />
Like the mirror I stare into:<br />
Distorting my own view of how I see myself, <br />
So untraceable to everybody else.<br />
Shattered pieces fell as I tell myself<br />
That everything is alright<br />
As I stand here left with nothing.<br />
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.<br />
<br />
Like the mirror, that's my rear view:<br />
Distorting my own views of how I see myself, <br />
It's not erasable, I'm miserable as hell.<br />
As the pages turn, I begin to learn<br />
That I have every reason to resent myself.<br />
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.<br />
<br />
Don't take this away, 'cause I need it.<br />
And I can't let go of this feeling.<br />
And these walls, they fall and my time is<br />
Slipping further, I can't fight it.<br />
<br />
I stand outside of my front porch and look at photographs of when<br />
Things seemed simpler.<br />
But I pushed away, so this is where I am:<br />
At a different place where I lost track<br />
And everything's not alright.<br />
So I'll stand here left with nothing.<br />
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.<br />
<br />
Don't take this away, 'cause I need it.<br />
And I can't let go of this feeling.<br />
And these walls, they fall and my time is<br />
Slipping further, I can't fight it.<br />
<br />
I'm holding on to what I know, <br />
Don't wanna change.<br />
I may be wrong, but after every word that's spoken, <br />
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.<br />

I'm not broken. (na nana na)<br />
I'm not broken. (na nana na)<br />
But after every word that's spoken, <br />
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.
