Welcome to the party
Come on in and disappear
You’re feeling like a stranger
But all your friends are here
Little lines and cracks
Around your eyes and mouth
Something’s trying to get in
Something’s trying to get out
It’s OK to be a little broken
Everybody’s broken in this life
It’s OK to feel a little broken
Everybody’s broken, you’re alright (Alright)
It’s just life
Step into the deep end
Make yourself at home
When you wonder why you’re breathing
Know you’re not alone
It’s so hard to believe
It’s easier to doubt
You’re trying to hold in
But you’re dying to scream out
It’s OK to be a little broken
Everybody’s broken in this life
It’s OK to feel a little broken
Everybody’s broken, you’re alright
It’s alright
It’s just life
Take a look around
Tell me what you see
Is who you think you are
Who you wanna be?
It’s OK to be a little broken
Everybody’s broken in this life
It’s OK to feel a little broken
Everybody’s broken, you’re alright
Keep on going, eyes wide open
Everybody’s broken, everybody’s broken
Everybody’s broken, everybody’s broken
Everybody’s broken, everybody’s broken, yeah
