Broke it, You Buy it a Song

[Studio Quality]
[Female vocals]
[Clean Production]

[verse]
Didn't you hear?

If you broke it you buy it

That is also true of your hearts desires
if you buy into your pain
well that is just insane

and its a way to live a life half alive

[verse]
We all start fresh in life with no wrinkles
Life provides all the kinks and the turns
and before you know it, the bends and the twists
turn you inside out and you wrestle with the burn and inner demons

[Verse]
Life has a way of teaching you yo
And its not always fun as you go
Some lessons are subtle you see 
and some bite on your butt

and learn them the first time
or you will repeat that fuss

Each building block is a step to the next
It takes all of you to not get in your own way
you can't just follow your heart or your head you see

those each separate will get you in trouble eventually

[Chorus]
Coulda shoulda woulda
that just plays in your head
the things that war inside of you

the insteads... 

Coulda shoulda woulda
your head, heart and body are on a collide

and you hope to make the turmoil subside


So one of them wins, your head it may rule
or you run with your heart and feel like a fool
your body takes point and you wake up unfullfilled

all of that for a temporary thrill!

[Instrumental]

[break]

[Verse]
You do have to get up when you are set back
on this your life it depends
no one gets to get past that, get up

Even when it emotionally rends

[verse]
So walk don't run through life
Take on the things you want with pride
Face every opportunity with the zeal 
and be genuine and totally real!

And give it your all, cause thats what it takes.

(all in relates)

(Coulda shoulda woulda)
(head, heart and body it takes)

Give it your all, 
keep your eyes on the ball,
don't let yourself down in the end

don't let yourself down in the end

(don't let yourself down in the end)

don't you dare just pretend!

(don't let yourself down in the end)

(don't let yourself down)


[guitar outro]
