Been a lot that I've been through
I've cried a tear a time or two
Baby, you know I cried some over you, yeah
Had my heart kicked to the ground
Love ripped me up and tore me down, babyBut 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, off my heartAnd 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 brokenBeen a lot of tears stained nights
I thought the tears were here for life, baby
The hurt came on and held on tight, ah
Took a chance, I took a fall
Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreamsBut 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 heartAnd 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 brokenGonna 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, was shattered inside
It's out of me babyAnd 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 brokenAnd 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, baby, my heart is still open
I'm bruised but not broken, bruised but not broken
Bruised but not, but not broken, ooh
