This Is Who We Are

Broken windows and broken hearts
Broken people back at the start
Sweet souls lost in the wind
Oh, where do we begin?

Shattered families and shattered glass
Scattered memories across the land
Courage flickering in the dark
Igniting our hearts

This is what we do
This is who we are
When the storm rolls through
Can't tear us apart no, no
Even if the road ahead is ruined
We will build another right next to it
This is what we do
This is who we are
Picking up the pieces of our broken hearts oh, oh
Look up to the sky and pray
Together we will be OK

Put our hands down in the dirt
Feel the pain and feel the hurt
Thank God for selfless ones
And pray for the helpless ones

This is home, oh this is love
It's not just a place, it's in our blood
The shirt off our backs and the food off our tables
We're willing and able

This is what we do
This is who we are
When the storm rolls through
Can't tear us apart no, no
Even if the road ahead is ruined
We will build another right next to it
This is what we do
This is who we are
Picking up the pieces of our broken hearts oh, oh
Look up to the sky and pray
Together we will be OK

OK, oh, together

This is what we do
This is who we are
When the storm rolls through
Can't tear us apart no, no
Even if the road ahead is ruined
We will build another right next to it
This is what we do
This is who we are
Picking up the pieces of our broken hearts oh, oh
Look up to the sky and pray
Together we will be OK

Send me a sign
A smoke signal that is all mine
A love letter written in the sky
'Cuz I'm not sure just what your feeling inside, inside
I’m hearing whispers telling me lies

I wanna feel your words pierce my chest
I wanna be the one who knows you best
I need a spark like you
To bring me, bring me back to

You're a shock wave
To my dying heart
Pulled me from the grave
To a brand new start
And when all love is lost
I'm too gone to save
You're lightning in the dust
You're my shock wave
You're my shock wave
Whoa
You’re my shock

I'm here, but baby I am slip, slipping away
So get your heart out and make it okay
You make me want to breathe you into my lungs
And never exhale

You're a shock wave
To my dying heart
Pulled me from the grave
To a brand new start
And when all love is lost
I'm too gone to save
You're lightning in the dust
You're my shock wave
You're my shock wave
Whoa
You’re my shock wave

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
You are my, you are my, you are my shock wave
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
You are my, you are my, you are my shock wave

You're a shock wave
To my dying heart
Pulled me from the grave
To a brand new start
And when all love is lost
I'm too gone to save
You're lightning in the dust
You're my shock wave
You're my shock wave
Whoa
You’re my shock wave
You’re my shock wave
You are my shock wave

So many walls, so many close calls
Feels like a losing game
Set my sights high, then I go blind,
I don't wanna fade away
I stitch myself up when I'm feeling loved
Why do I come apart when I've had enough
Just gotta tell myself

Breathe deep, breathe slow and sweet
When has it ever not worked out
Breathe long, dream on and on,
Don't let your days be lived in doubt
It won't be like this forever
So breathe like this for now

Can't see the air, but I know it's there
Keeps my heart going strong
Beats like like a drum, feels like a loaded gun
Dangerous if handled wrong
I'm trying to see the upside of the downs
It's got me going, spinning all around
Just gotta tell myself

I used to hide from something in my closet, under my bed
But now the scariest things are in my heart and in my head
Tellin' me I'm no good at this and pretty much worthless all around
They haunt me like a ghost right up until they hear the sound
Of your voice
Cutting through the noise
Reminding me I'm someone
Giving me a choice

Oh, I got monsters
Oh, would you chase 'em away, chase 'em away
Oh, I got monsters in my head
But you chase 'em away

Oh, I live in city where the good die young and thirty's old
Just have fun, can't trust anyone, don't believe anything that you're told
Every bump in the night is cleverly disguised as pain or lust or greed
I get so scared of what's to come that I miss everything but your
Of your voice
Cutting through the noise
Reminding me I'm someone
Giving me a choice

Thanks again for stopping by
I was running low on your two faced lies
Look at the time, your time is up
The bottom line is that I've had enough of you
Cause now I know the truth
Read between the lines
I don't need to know what you did with that guy
You can't look me in the eye and tell me that you love me

'Cause I'm better than before
I'm not bitter anymore
I'm not that insecure
'Cause I'm happier with, happier without you

Thanks again for making time
To pull the knife from my back for a second strike
I can't believe I let you in
I told myself I'd never fall for that again
Ice is running through your veins
But I'm the one to blame
For thinking you could change, took a while to hit my brain
But better late than never

Broken windows and broken hearts
