Okay so I have been listening to just different songs right now and I found some of Katy Perry’s older stuff that she performed with a group called the Matrix. I listened to it and the lyrics spoke to me.
I wear the red shoes
With the holes
To remind me
What we went through
Sit down here
Kick ‘em off enough
Not had enough of you
I tell you
You know
The car you drive
Keeps breaking down
And never starts
Next thing
I’m pulling up to you
We’re in the backseat
Driving it home
No one wants
To be alone
Chorus:
What do you do?
What do you do
When everything
Is broken?
What do you say?
What do you say
When no words
Fit the moment?
‘Cuz you’re not here
And even if you were
All I could say
Is what do I do?
What do I do?
We’re broken
But I can’t
Throw us away
The video
Of our vacation’s
Chewed up in the drawer
Beside me
She thinks I never got
To watch it
I’m so glad
I made a copy
The sky
Got bitter twisted
Just like you and me
I miss it
You snap it
Bend it
Burn it
Then you find
That you can’t fix it
Fall back on whatever
Still remains
(Chorus)
Breaking you in
Breaking your heart
I was taking it all
And I tore you apart
Breaking me in
Breaking my heart
And the damage was done
But I took what you got
We were breakin’ it
Smashin’ it
Takin’ it
Lovin’ it
Hatin’ it
Drivin’ it home
And now I’m all
Now I’m all alone
Oh, yeah (4x)
(Chorus)
What do I do?
We’re broken
But I can’t
Throw us away
Okay so obviously she is talking to a boy of hers. But what hit me was the chorus. What do you do? What do you do when everything is broken? What do you say? What do you say when words won’t fit the moment? I don’t know about yall but I have felt at times broken. I have felt broken because someone let me down or hurt me. We all know that God is the great healer and he can put the pieces back together but so many times we want to fix it ourselves. SOme of that is cause God doesn’t work on our time but His and He does it His way not necessarily the way we want it fixed. We need to let go and let God. This is so hard and si something I am stuggling right now. I want to fix the things wrong in my life and in others. However sometimes I need to just let God handle it. I need to understand he knows all and sees the big picture. Well I just wanted to share what was on my mind!
God Bless, Christy
