Been a lot that I've been through   I've cried a tear a time or two   Baby, you know I cried some over you, yeah   Had my heart kicked to the ground   Love ripped me up and tore me down, baby      But that ain't enough to break me   'Cause I'll rise above it   And I'll pick myself up   And I'll dust the pain off, off my heart      And I'll be alright and I'll love again   And the wounds will mend   I'm bruised but not broken   And the pain will fade, I'll get back on my feet   It's not the end of me, my heart is still open   I'm bruised but not broken      Been a lot of tears stained nights   I thought the tears were here for life, baby   The hurt came on and held on tight, ah   Took a chance, I took a fall   Love broke my heart and shattered all my dreams      But I won't be down on my knees   'Cause I'll rise above it   And I'll pick myself up   And I'll shake the rain out of my heart      And I'll be alright and I'll love again   And the wounds will mend   I'm bruised but not broken   And the pain will fade, I'll get back on my feet   It's not the end of me, my heart is still open   I'm bruised but not broken      Gonna pick my heart up   Take my life back, shake the hurt away   Pull myself together, put the pieces back in place   See I've learned love's so hard   Love left my soul scarred, was shattered inside   It's out of me baby      And I'll be alright and I'll love again   And the wounds will mend   I'm bruised but not broken   And the pain will fade, I'll get back on my feet   It's not the end of me, my heart is still open   I'm bruised but not broken      And I'll be alright and I'll love again   And the wounds will mend   I'm bruised but not broken   And the pain will fade, I'll get back on my feet   It's not the end of me, baby, my heart is still open   I'm bruised but not broken, bruised but not broken   Bruised but not, but not broken, ooh
