Almost Broken
Written By: Jim Gaffney
[Verse 1]
I wish that things were different
something better in their stead
Another day of battles fought
And things unsaid
Tired of pretending things are alright
Growing weary of the rain
I wish things had been different
The only friend I’ve known is pain
A broken promise, maybe
Or something worse instead
The miles are getting longer
Please come and take me home
[Chorus]
Runnin’ out of patience
Runnin’ out of places to hide
Not sure I can take it
Like I lost that light in my eyes
Been runnin’ from the Devil
Like he’s got me square in his sights
Not sure I can make it
Feels like I’m losing the fight
Your love’s the only thing keepin’ me alive
Yeah I’m almost broken, but not tonight
[Verse 2]
Fell so far from grace though I didn’t know why
All my fight disappeared and lost the will to try
Built these walls so high that I couldn’t get out
Faith was gone and heart grew heavy with weight of doubt
Been down so long I couldn’t rise
A life of pain behind blue eyes
I wish I never lived this day
I wish I’d never come this way
I should have been a stronger one
Almost broken, almost done
[Bridge]
But when I’m at the edge and ready to fall
She gives me the strength to stand up tall
Even in the darkest depths of that day
Her love was the fire that showed me the way
She picked up the pieces and made me whole
Together we paid a heavy toll
My love for her will never fade
A promise kept of a promise made
[Chorus]
Runnin’ out of patience
Runnin’ out of places to hide
Not sure I can take it
Like I lost that light in my eyes
Been runnin’ from the Devil
Like he’s got me square in his sights
Not sure I can make it
Feels like I’m losing the fight
Your love’s the only thing keepin’ me alive
Yeah I’m almost broken, but not tonight
[Outro]
I was almost gone, almost lost,
But she refused to let me pay the cost
I can never repay her love that day
By her side I’ll always stay
Yeah, I was almost broken if not for her
