THIS BEATEN DOWN HEART

I know pain a little better than I'd like to

Can't escape the ache without a bruise

Sometimes everything gets a little heavy

but, the rhythm always tries to keep me steady

​

This beaten down heart 

might be beating a little off time

It's a little torn apart 

Oh, but it still works just fine

This beaten down heart…of mine

​

I just keep my guard up always try to fight 

The key is lost and I am locked up tight

Believe me, I've tried to leave the door open 

but, there's only so many times a young girls heart can be broken

This beaten down heart 

might be beating a little off time

It's a little torn apart 

Oh, but it still works just fine

This beaten down heart…of mine

I shouldn't be ashamed, we've all got burdens we hold 

but, these scars are the stories that I have never told 

and I'm so scared that someone might see 

this old, broken mess in me 

This beaten down heart 

might be beating a little off time

It's a little torn apart 

Oh, but it still works just fine

This beaten down heart…of mine
