I'd rather be beaten than broken
Bruises on the outside can be hid
Bruises on the outside soon fade away
Broken bones can mend with time
Beating is a punishable crime
I'd rather be beaten than broken
A fake smile can't hide the bruises inside my soul
Tears give away the bruises on my heart
Broken hearts also mend with time
Breaking a heart is not a punishable crime
I'd rather be beaten than broken
At least at some point it comes to an end
With a beating I have the chance to defend
The hurt is on the outside and doesn't last long
A beating doesn't make me cry everytime I hear our song
I'd rather be beaten than broken
The hurt inside my soul is unrelenting
My unconditional love blinded me from preventing
Tears from the pain in my heart are unending
Every sad love song has my tears descending
