Broken Strings

I went outside, took a breath to decide

Didn't care anymore about our love from before

You tore me apart, every beat of my heart

Got into my car and drove through the night

Rested my head till the morning light

Maybe now I'd think straight

Forward by keeping the faith

I'm not proud of what I've done

Away from you is a place to run

So I'll point these wheels and keep going west

Take the good and leave behind the rest

until I find the piece you stole from my soul, I know

I will sing old songs till peace healed the hole

That I can find my own words and find my own

And forget what you said about me not being enough

Because my guitar plays, it still can play on broken strings

You said that I wouldn't get too far on my own

In my beat up Mustang surely not alone

There's a lot of tread and miles up ahead

You didn't know about all of my pride

About the times you hurt me and I smiled inside

Now I don't ask for a thing

Cello's can play with one string

Even if it took some time

Leaving you was the best thing I've done

So I'll point these wheels and keep going west

Take the good and leave behind the rest

Till I find the piece you stole from my soul, I know

Because my guitar plays,

It still can play on broken strings
