Lyrics of "Song on a Broken String" by Nicole Laurel Asensio

I’m not trying to be anybody’s favorite song
I’m not trying to fit in, I’m not trying to belong
I just wanna be heart, just to hear myself again
I’d show you who I am
If there’s a way I can
Remember the words

Tired of playing out the scene,
With someone else’s cliched lines
Tired of playing by the scheme
Of someone else’s perfect rhymes
So here I am listening to the beat
Of this syncopated heart
How to write the truth
A song that’s not about you

Breathe in, breathe out
Courage, don’t you fail me now
Coz here I go singing out loud
Trying to hold my own against the crowd
If all I have is music
Then here’s my everything
There’s beauty in believing I can sing…
A song on a broken string

I’m facing all my fears now
I’m stepping out into the light
I’m taking back the years now
No holding back, no wrong or right
This heart is for the breaking
This story’s waiting to be told
For once, I won’t resist the undertow
I’ll risk the letting go…

So breathe in, breathe out
Courage, don’t you fail me now
Coz here I go singing out loud
Trying to hold my own against the crowd
If all I have is music
Then here’s my everything
There’s beauty in believing I can sing…

And nother anyone can say
can break my spirit now
And nothing anyone can do
Can ever bring me down
No, I won’t let me down

Courage, don’t you fail me now
Coz here I go singing out loud
Trying to hold my own against the crowd
If all I have is music
Then here’s my everything
There’s beauty in believing I can sing…
A song on a broken string
A song on a broken string
