This Beaten Down Heart

I know pain a little better than I'd like to
Can't escape the ache without a bruise
Sometimes everything gets a little heavy
But the rhythm always tries to keep me steady

This beaten down heart
Might be beating a little off time
It's a little torn apart
Oh, but it still works just fine
This beaten down heart of mine

I just keep my guard up, always try to fight
The key is lost and I am locked up tight
Believe me I've tried to leave the door open
There's only so many times a girl's heart can be broken

This beaten down heart
Might be beating a little off time
It's a little torn apart
Oh, but it still works just fine
This beaten down heart of mine

I shouldn't be ashamed, we've all got burdens we hold
But these scars are the stories that I have never told
And I'm so scared that someone might see
This old, broken down mess in me

This beaten down heart
Might be beating a little off time
It's a little torn apart
Oh, but I'm gonna be just fine
Me and this beaten down heart of mine

I'll be fine
I'll be fine
Lalalalala, lalalalala
