Song for the Broken Lyrics

I am the comfortable secure
the definition of this western world
and i have perfected the seams
even i believe i'm above saving
and i'll never let you see...

i am the broken
i am the bruised
i am the poor ones
i am the used

it takes me falling to the ground
to admit to fully needing You
then when i'm breathing my last breath
come and save me, i will cry to You
cuz pride has not let me say

i am the broken
i am the bruised
i am the poor ones
i am the used

why does it take so much to bring me to my knees
why does it take so much pain for me to see
this strength is only found when i am on my knees
why is it so much to show i am weak

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

She/he is is comfy in the eyes of the western world, but believes she can't be saved, adn doesn't want to let God see she/he isn't perfect. This song is also like that bible verse...."For when I am weak, then I am strong."(2 cor 12-10) - "this strength is only found when i am on my knees" and he/she realises that it took for her to be in real need before giving up her pride and letting go of her life and giving it to God - "cuz pride has not let me say, i am the broken i am the bruised i am the poor ones i am the used"

The lyrics are a little wrong ^_^ She says "I have been used" not "I am the used"
