Jennifer about her song: // Broken Things

Occasionally, you hear a song that speaks to you in a special way, as in the case with �Broken Things�. A friend if mine introduced me to a version of this song. Sung bye an Irish singer, and I could not get enough. I remember lying on the floor of my studio, almost underneath my keyboard, pressing play over and over until I couldn't hear it any more. I was fascinated by this song, and it spoke to me. We've all been there, heartbroken and scared to start over. But somehow we know that it's important to eventually take that leap again. This is the ultimate song of famous �Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all�. But, in the moment that you are the one in that place, you might need a reminder like this one to get you back on your feet again. My brother, Chance Scoggins, produced this song for me in Nashville,  

 LYRICS // Broken Things

(BMG Songs Inc/Verdugo Music/Word Music(ASCAP)

 

You can have my heart but it isn't new

It's been used and broken and only comes in blue

It's been down a long road and it got dirty on the way

If I give it to you will you make it clean wash the pain away

 

You can have my heart

If you don't mind broken things

You can have my heart

If you don't mind these tears

I heard that you make all things new

So I give these pieces all to you

If you want it, you can have my heart

 

So beyond repair, nothing I could do

I tried to fix it myself but it was only worse when I got through

But then you walked right into my darkness and you speak words so sweet

You hold me like a child til my frozen tears fall at your feet

 

You can have my heart

If you don't mind broken things

You can have my heart

If you don't mind these tears

I heard that you make all things new

So I give these pieces all to you

If you want it, you can have my heart
