Title:
“Broken, Not Defeated”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1 – E minor, G, D, A)
I walk the streets not knowing where to go,
Mistakes, regrets are the only thing I know.
Every step I take, every turn I make,
Is just another chance for me to break.

(Chorus – C, G, D, E minor)
But I’m broken, not defeated,
Still breathing, though mistreated.
In this mess, I find my song,
In this chaos, I belong.

(Verse 2 – E minor, G, D, A)
The weight of the world, heavy on my shoulder,
Each passing day, I only grow colder.
But with every scar, I’m a rising star,
Sailing through the storm, no matter how far.

(Chorus – C, G, D, E minor)
Cause I’m broken, not defeated,
Still standing, not retreated.
In this mess, I find my peace,
In this struggle, I find release.

(Outro – E minor, G, D, A)
So here’s to every tear, every silent scream,
To every shattered dream, to every broken theme.
For I am a sore mess, in this world’s distress,
But I’m broken, not defeated, and that is my success.
