From the recording U.R.B.A.N. EP
A tender and empathetic song, "Broken Smile," sees through the façade of someone silently suffering. It speaks to the desire to help heal another person's pain while respecting that their journey is their own.
"This one is about wanting to lift someone out of their suffering and help them rediscover their strength. It's probably my favorite song in the collection right now."
Lyrics
Broken Smile
In your silence,
where the tears hit like rain
You’re lost
When you’re just trying to ease the strain
But I’ve seen beyond all the noise that always drowns you out
There’s hope inside the light, where darkness can’t find you now
I wish I could fix you
I can see through your broken smile
And it shatters my heart every time
I can see through your broken smile
And I want to fix you
Though it’s not my place
I just want to replace
The cracks that define you
You and your broken smile
Paint a brave face,
Though your eyes reveal some truth
Go fight to hide battle scars from the wounds of youth
I wanna reach in, to rip out - all the pain inside
To bring back the light - the darkness cut short from - all your life
I wish I could fix you
Put your pieces back together
Show us all who you are
Shine your light on me and …
Mend - your - scars
