Not Broken lyrics

Even though the world is tough, and things get in the way, you're not broken and life does go on. It'll get better.

(just looked up and saw the "written for a solider" post, if true on the goo goo dolls reason behind the song, that's pretty cool, and good on your bro and his wife whoever you are)

My husband of forever-years-ago and i used-to-be-teenage parents and our 19yr old son and his girlfriend just moved away from home together. Our oldest just turned 21 and is in california. I have not seen this video yet, i read the lyrics like a mom to her son (all of 'em really but that's muh'boy and always on my mind), he's a used-to-be "troubled teen" - except that i really do hate that term.
He had problems we all do, we're bi-polar and anxiety-ridden and depressed and alcoholic and schizos and pill-dependant and former coke and/or meth heads and abuse survivors, and that's just in my family, immediate, heck it's me and my son cover those and then some.
But we're not broken and our family though miles apart it is nowadays will always be there for eachother, no matter how crazy we were or are, it's our crazy and we know our crazy and we handle it just fine. He's even come to have faith in god and i found mine again too and our angels light our way now. Our son doesn't even need his psych pills anymore (something my brother's working on and it's tough to get off meds once yer on 'em, like comin off meth) and has i truly believe found his soul mate early in his life like his dad and i were lucky to do.
Hey will, bekah, mara, russ, our family, we're not broken never will be and i love you. -mom

My boyfriend broke up with me. But i think were not broken yet.

I just heard this for the first time today, and it sounds like my life right now... It sounds like a partner ship ended over baggage and pride - someone who didn't want to admit they had baggage - and the cry for their partner to return because they're finally ready to realize they can put the baggage down

To me, its almost like god is singing this. He is saying that at times the world will wear you down, and how unlike the earth he is not broken. He will never betray you, never hurt you, never let you down. Thats how i see this song.

Accepting someone back into your life after they go out to explore their own life... Souls connected forever.

How many times do the events in our lives cause us great pain... What a beautiful message that we can heal and that we can heal each other.

Its was written when a guy went to war and got stuck in a german hospital. He thought his wife wouldn't want him to come home, because he was scarred and badly hurt. So his wife asked the goo goo dolls to write this song for him so he would come home.
What this song means to me:
On may 27th, 2011. My brother was in a horrible car accident. He was in icu for 7 weeks and in rehab for several more weeks. His fiancee was by his side every second of every day. She is now his devoted wife. (married october 29th 2011. Their wedding had to be postponed because of his injuries) the song means so much to me because i would text my brother and say "i want you to come home. " that is why this song is so important to me.
