Here are all the notes, chords, lyrics, lead sheets and chord charts you could want to play this awesome song just like Kendra...

 

My favorite things are reading and music! So when I read a great book, I sometimes like to write a song based on the story of the book. This song is based on a book called “Undivided” by Neal Shusterman. I have written other songs based on favorite books such as Prisoner (based on King’s Cage by Victoria Aveyard). When I read a great book, sometimes the story swirls around in my head for a long time and I just feel the need to get the story written into a song! Thank you so much for watching and for supporting my music!

Lyrics for this original song:

Lyrics:
Verse 1
What is trust when it breaks
What is love when it hates
What is air when you can’t breathe
What is waking when you never sleep
Crushed emotion and anger shows
Empty hole and my heart knows
Stiches don’t mend broken spirits
Everything’s gone, I’m not healing
Pre-chorus:
You brought me back from the dead
You gave me meaning and forgiveness
Chorus:
I’m whole, whole with you
Finally whole, whole and true
Verse 2:
Breathing out never stops
Can’t find the words, I feel lost
I’ve been running for too long
Been trying to write these wrongs
Pre-chorus:
You brought me back from the dead
You gave me meaning and forgiveness
Chorus:
I’m whole, whole with you
Finally whole, whole and true
Bridge:
It’s like trying to keep my head out of the water
But success comes from the survivors
Broken from the inside out like an empty shell
But you put me back together and made me well
You made me well, you made me well, you made me well
Outro:
What is trust when it breaks
What is love when it hates
