Bruised But Not Broken Lyrics
Been a lot that I’ve been through, I’ve cried a tear a time or two
Baby, you know I cried from over you
Had my heart kicked to the ground
Love ripped me up and tore me down
But that ain’t enough to break me
‘Cause I’ll rise above it and I’ll pick myself up
And I’ll dust the pain off of my heart
And I’ll be alright and I’ll love again
And the wounds will mend
I’m bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade… I’ll get back on my feet
It’s not the end of me… my heart is still open
I’m bruised but not broken
Been a lot of tear-stained nights
I thought the tears were here for life
Baby, the hurt came on and held on tight
I took a chance, I took a fall…
Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreams
But I won’t be down on my knees
‘Cause I’ll rise above it and I’ll pick myself up
And I’ll shake the rain out of my heart
And I’ll be alright and I’ll love again
And the wounds will mend
I’m bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade, I’ll get back on my feet
It’s not the end of me; my heart is still open
I’m bruised but not broken
Gonna pick my heart up, take my life back, shake the hurt away
Pull myself together, put the pieces back in place
See… I’ve learned love’s so hard
Love left my soul scarred… Shattered inside…
(you shattered me, baby)
And I’ll be alright and I’ll love again
And the wounds will mend
I’m bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade, I’ll get back on my feet
It’s not the end of me; my heart is still open
I’m bruised but not broken
I’m so far from broken now
Baby, you know I cried from over you
Had my heart kicked to the ground
Love ripped me up and tore me down
But that ain’t enough to break me
‘Cause I’ll rise above it and I’ll pick myself up
And I’ll dust the pain off of my heart
And the wounds will mend
I’m bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade… I’ll get back on my feet
It’s not the end of me… my heart is still open
I’m bruised but not broken
I thought the tears were here for life
Baby, the hurt came on and held on tight
I took a chance, I took a fall…
Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreams
But I won’t be down on my knees
‘Cause I’ll rise above it and I’ll pick myself up
And I’ll shake the rain out of my heart
And the wounds will mend
I’m bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade, I’ll get back on my feet
It’s not the end of me; my heart is still open
I’m bruised but not broken
Pull myself together, put the pieces back in place
See… I’ve learned love’s so hard
Love left my soul scarred… Shattered inside…
(you shattered me, baby)
And the wounds will mend
I’m bruised but not broken
And the pain will fade, I’ll get back on my feet
It’s not the end of me; my heart is still open
I’m bruised but not broken

to me, this song is about a person's inner strength... they've been hurt, but instead of allowing it to completely break them, they decide to acknowledge the pain, then make attempts at moving past it.
she says i'm bruised, as in yes, this has hurt me... but i'm strong woman, and i'm not going to give up...
i love the line "and i'll love again," because often after heartbreak, people give up on love, or are afraid of it. in this song she is saying that she wont give up on love, and i feel that that is a sign of a good, healthy, strong outlook on life.
