Broken

I love how music can fully express emotion. Being a music lover, I often turn to music and song lyrics to help me through the rough times, and even the happy times as well.  I'm also a writer that MUST have music going in the background. One of my favorite things to do when I need to wind down or do a mental download and reboot the internal hardrive is listen to music. Whether I'm taking a bath by candlelight or sitting on the couch in a dark living room, I will put on the ipod and listen to whatever playlist I've created for whatever mood I'm in at the time.
I love when I can find a song that becomes a "theme song" for the moment in time.

Today's song connection is one of my favorite songs by Lifehouse, "Broken"

The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can't stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time

I am here still waiting
I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Like you've already figured out.

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name, I find meaning
So, I'm holding on, I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you.

The broken locks were a warning
You got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded
I'm an open book instead

And I still see your reflection
Inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose
There still looking for life

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
that's still beating
In the pain, is there healing
In your name, I find meaning
So, I'm holding on, I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you.

I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what you will throw my way
I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will, Will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
Haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name, I find meaning
So, I'm holding on, I'm holding on, I'm holding on
I'm barely holding on to you.

Though we all have days where we feel we are barely hanging on, and we are left all alone, it is those times when we have to remember HE is there to carry us. HE is permanent and will never let go!
