Through A Sea of People

 Have you ever walked through a sea of people yet felt utterly alone?  I had that experience tonight at the mall. I was there alone, just walking through the crowd.  I almost felt like I was floating.  The song "Broken" by Lifehouse was playing on the mall speakers.  I don't know if I'll ever forget this feeling.

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can't stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain is there healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm still holdin',
I'm holdin' on, I'm still holdin',
I'm holdin' on, I'm still holdin'
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hanging out another day just to see what you will throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be ok

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten... my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain (in the pain) there is healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm holdin' on
I'm holdin' on

I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to You.
