Let me explain my thoughts in one song
For the words I sing are my heart reaching to an unknown audience
that may never hear me

Chorus:
Let me sing
the broken parts of a story
that lived and died
rose up when love gave in
fell apart when love gave out
if then or now or in the future
Let me sing
one story that could bring
sinking hearts, lifting hearts, raising hands
understand

There was a boy who loved a girl with all his heart
But when she died
He felt traumatized
maybe for the rest of his life

Then he met a sexy little thing
exchanged promises of love and devotion
swaying a lot of emotion, commotion
until the night
he said it had to end
he couldn't love again

Chorus:
Let me sing
the broken parts of a story
that lived and died
rose up when love gave in
fell apart when love gave out
if then or now or in the future
Let me sing
one story that could bring
sinking hearts, lifting hearts, raising hands
understand

There were two girls who hated each other
until they got to know
She protected her, saved her
from all the sadness well known
She loved her for that
hoped she would stay
until the day came she couldn't handle everything that so followed her way
They cut the tie they made
sprinkled it with hate
Now every day
they look their separate ways

Chorus:
Let me sing
the broken parts of a story
that lived and died
rose up when love gave in
fell apart when love gave out
if then or now or in the future
Let me sing
one story that could bring
sinking hearts, lifting hearts, raising hands
understand

She loves her daddy
He doesn't know
She means the world to him
Can't let her go
every night they fight with love whispered through their yells
If she could only find the courage to say how she feels
He's a great man to her
She didn't wanna disappoint

Chorus:
Let me sing
the broken parts of a story
that lived and died
rose up when love gave in
fell apart when love gave out
if then or now or in the future
Let me sing
one story that could bring
sinking hearts, lifting hearts, raising hands
understand

A child taken to Heaven
at dusk, at dusk
How can you live without your son?
Your one, your one, your only one
How can a mother survive without the definition of her life?

Bridge:
How can something so sweet
Be taken
Be taken
Be taken
Taken love away
How can you take love away?

My heart cries out for everything lost
everything lost
Let me sing for everything I had
I want it back

Chorus:
Let me sing
the broken parts of a story
that lived and died
rose up when love gave in
fell apart when love gave out
if then or now or in the future
Let me sing
one story that could bring
sinking hearts, lifting hearts, raising hands
understand
