I know broken, beat down I know I show it then and now But hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it And it brings me to my knees I got lucky I make sure I don't make it easy on me But I woke up today, so that must mean I got lucky Well, ain't that something For someone just like me Who don't deserve one damn thing? I know broken, beat down And I know I show it then and now Hell, I chose it, yeah, I own it And it brings me to my knees I got lucky I got lucky Oh
