about

My mother had a lot of major health issues, but she was a very loving and caring person. You could say that everything was broken, but her heart. Watch the video here: youtu.be/5nhe_hbu6rk

lyrics

Broken J.Shea

Couldnʼt sleep, youʼd stay with me
Beside my bed, youʼd pray for me
I could count on you to play the part
But I would always step on cracks
Was it me that broke your back?
Everything was broken but your heart

When I went to see you
I wished that I could free you
I had no idea where to start
Too young to understand
Things were getting out of hand
Everything was broken but your heart

You were always there for me
You did your best to care for me
Like caring was a special form of art
Now Iʼm here but you have passed
Itʼs hard to make the good things last
Everything gets broken but your heart

I finally wrote a song for you.
Guess itʼs kind of overdue.
But I wrote it down and made a proper chart.
I know that you can hear it.
I can feel your spirit
Everything is broken but your heart.
