The other day I got a new cell phone. I was going to change my ringer only to realize that my phone only came with 5 preprogrammed ringer options. After becoming frustrated about getting less stuff for more money, I decided to explore the ringtone option. As I was exploring, I came across a Lifehouse song that I've never heard before. These lyrics resonated with way I have been feeling lately.
Broken
The broken clock is a comfort
It helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time
And I am here still waiting
Though 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 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
They're still looking for life
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 still holding on)
I'm barely holding on to you
I'm hanging on another day
Just to see what, you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on, to the words you say
You said that I will, will be okay
The broken light on the freeway
Left me here alone
I may have lost my way now
But I 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
Barely holding on to you (I'm still holding on)
Barely holding on to you
(In case you are wondering, I gave up looking for ringtones, and settled for a the standard ringer. Let me know if you have any ringtone suggestions.)
