Broken Girl
~ Matthew West ~



Lyrics
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
And 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



This song is from Matthew West's newest cd "Stories of YOUR life" in which he took things fans had shared with him, and turned them into some of the most awesome songs he has ever released.
In truth, I wasn't going to share cuz it WILL bring rather raw emotions to light.. but in HIS truth, if this occurs, it is NECESSARY to help you heal. HE Wants to HEAL You!

Now... before you order up the tar and feathers
This song is NOT sad... it is reality for many MANY girls... forgive me bros... people.
I know the first time I heard it, I cried... it was "WOW" there simply weren't words to explain where its truth reached in my heart.

Again, I hafta say... THIS IS NOT A SAD SONG... if you truely HEAR the message.

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

AMEN! If you have experienced the kind of hurt that rips innosence from its victim, whether you are a sis or a bro, I am sorry.
It is the worst hurt there is, in my opinion. But, I know God can Free you from that hurt. He freed me... now, was it quick, snap your fingers "all better"
I wish! but No it sure wasn't... when I let HIM, healing began and continues.

You are loved, as the song says... "there is a LOVE they can NEVER steal away"
A love that won't hurt.
A love that WILL heal.
A love that is FOR YOU!

GOD Loves YOU!
Proof you say? You are here surrounded by a family in faith who all want you to find healing and love in HIM.

As I said, if the song brought tears.... I pray it also brings healing and truth.

If you are seeking a path toward healing and haven't yet found such I would like to invite you to take a look at one of the programs offered here at the Oasis. ALL are filled with HIS light and great tools on our path toward healing:
