Burton Type Romance- Bruised But Not Broken

Lyrics by ‪@ladybfromnyc‬

Hey there my friend,
I noticed you were blue.
Life has thrown another curveball,
Don’t worry, you’ll make it through.
For I have seen you put through the ringer,
Yet you always persevere.
Where most would just throw in the towel,
You keep punching despite your fear.

Duck Left, Dodge Right
Protect those eyes,
Through the pain and taunts,
You’ll claim the prize

Life will hit hard, and it doesn’t play fair.
Distractions all over, trying to impair.
Inside that ring, it’s your chance to take control.
For when this battle happens, it will surely take its toll.
When it’s all over,
Remember these words that I’ve spoken.
Despite all the markings,
You’re bruised… but not broken.

The canvas is stained, the bell has rung loud.
You’ve tasted the dirt, felt lost in the crowd.
They’ll try to convince you, with whispers and lies,
That victory’s too far, a dream in disguise.
But I see the fire that burns in your soul,
The will to get up, to make yourself whole.
Each scar tells a story, a lesson you’ve learned,
A testament to battles, hard-fought and earned.

Duck Left, Dodge Right
Protect those eyes,
Through the pain and taunts,
You’ll claim the prize

Life will hit hard, and it doesn’t play fair.
Distractions all over, trying to impair.
Inside that ring, it’s your chance to take control.
For when this battle happens, it will surely take its toll.
When it’s all over,
Remember these words that I’ve spoken.
Despite all the markings,
You’re bruised… but not broken.

They might cheer for the fall, or revel in your pain,
But the strength you possess, it’s hard to contain.
It’s forged in the furnace of what you endure,
A spirit unbroken, forevermore pure.

Life will hit hard, and it doesn’t play fair.
Distractions all over, trying to impair.
Inside that ring, it’s your chance to take control.
For when this battle happens, it will surely take its toll.
When it’s all over,
Remember these words that I’ve spoken.
Despite all the markings,
You’re bruised… but not broken.

Not broken, no!
You're bruised, but not broken.
Rise up, stand tall!
You're bruised, but not broken.
Yeah!
Despite all the markings...
You're bruised... but not broken.
