🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • And we can learn to love again
  • It's in the stars
  • It's been written in the scars on our hearts
  • We're not broken, just bent

Echo the hook

  • That we're not broken, just bent
  • And we can learn to love again
  • Just give me a reason
  • Just a little bit's enough
