  • Look what he's done to you
    It isn't fair
    Your light was bright and new
    But he didn't care
    He took the heart of a little girl
    And made it grow up too fast

    Now words like innocence
    Don't mean a thing
    You hear the music play
    But you can't sing
    Those pictures in your mind
    Keep you locked up inside your past

    This is a song for the broken girl
    The one pushed aside by the cold, cold world
    You are
    Hear me when I say
    You're not the worthless they made you feel
    There is a Love they can never steal away
    And you don't have to stay the broken girl

    Those damaged goods you see
    In your reflection
    Love sees them differently
    Love sees perfection
    A beautiful display
    Of healing on the way tonight
    Tonight

    Look what he's done to you
    It isn't fair
    Your light was bright and new
    But he didn't care
    He took the heart of a little girl
    And made it grow up too fast

    Now words like innocence
    Don't mean a thing
    You hear the music play
    But you can't sing
    Those pictures in your mind
    Keep you locked up inside your past

    This is a song for the broken girl
    The one pushed aside by the cold, cold world
    You are
    Hear me when I say
    You're not the worthless they made you feel
    There is a Love they can never steal away
    And you don't have to stay the broken girl, girl
    You don't have to stay the broken girl, girl

    Let your tears touch the ground
    Lay all your shattered pieces down
    And be amazed by how Grace can take a broken girl
    And put her back together again

    This is a song for the broken girl
    The one pushed aside by the cold, cold world
    You are
    Hear me when I say
    You're not the worthless they made you feel
    There is a Love they can never steal away
    You don't have to stay the broken girl, girl
    You don't have to stay the broken girl, girl
    You don't have to stay the broken girl Writer/s: MATTHEW JOSEPH WEST, MATTHEW WEST
