Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Always look on the bright side
Is what they're sayin'
But the more appropriate cliche
Is easier easier said than done
I don't wanna hear
What I'm going through
Is just a season
Or that my glass should be half full
When it's in it's in a million pieces
Life's not over yet
So take a breath
Cause it gets better
Cause the bright side of being broken
Is a heart that's busted open
With every break the
Light will chase
The darkness away
Yeah the bright side of being broken
Is in the hands that
That are holding
Every piece
Reminding me
That it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be okay
Woah
It's gonna be okay
Even in the darkest times
There's always hope
What we see as a broken mess
Jesus sees a chance to be made whole
Life's not over yet
So take a breath
Cause it gets better
Cause the bright side of being broken
Is a heart that's busted open
With every break the
Light will chase
The darkness away
Yeah the bright side of being broken
Is in the hands that
That are holding
Every piece
Reminding me
That it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be okay
Woah
It's gonna be okay
