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
