Searchin', lookin' all around
For somethin' I still haven't found
World's so heavy, it gets me down
And though I may hurt sometimes
I know I will be alright

So I... do what I gotta do
Whatever will put me through
I put myself back together, I put myself back together
No I... don't wanna be sad and blue
Even if I'm black and blue, I put myself back together
'Cause I am...

Bruised but I'm not broken
Damaged, but I'm copin'
Holding on and hopin'
I'll find where I'm goin'
Bruised but I'm not broken
Took some time to own it
And though I may hurt sometimes
I know I will be alright
Bruised but I'm not broken
Damaged, but I'm copin'
Holding on and hopin'
I'll find where I'm goin'
Bruised but I'm not broken
Took some time to own it
It took some time, but it's gonna be alright (Hey)

Sticks and stones may break my bones
And show me the darkest of the unknown
But I'll get stronger on my own
And though I may hurt sometimes (Sometimes)
I know I will be alright (Be alright)

So I... do what I gotta do
Whatever will put me through
I put myself back together, I put myself back together
No I... don't wanna be sad and blue (Sad and blue)
Even if I'm black and blue, I put myself back together
'Cause I am...

Bruised but I'm not broken
Damaged, but I'm copin'
Holding on and hopin'
I'll find where I'm goin'
Bruised but I'm not broken
Took some time to own it
And though I may hurt sometimes
I know I will be alright
Bruised but I'm not broken
Damaged, but I'm copin' (Copin', hey yeah)
Holding on and hopin'
I'll find where I'm goin' (Where I'm goin', yeah)
Bruised but I'm not broken
Took some time to own it (Took some time)
And though I may hurt sometimes
I know I will be alright (I will be alright, ah)

Bruised but I'm not broken
Woo...
It took some time, but it's gonna be alright (Woo)
Bruised but I'm not broken (Ooh)
Bruised but I'm not broken
