Brenn! - Franklin House (Official Lyric Video)

Lyrics:

i’ve got stories to tell but no means to tell em
i’ve got words to get out but they’ll send me to hell
i bet that you’re drunk at the franklin blowing off all that grief that i gave ya

it’s cold when you’re here and it’s cold when you’re not
and it hit me like a bullet but i took it cause i’m strong
and i’m the closest to the man
the man i never was

and i’m driving home from the worst night alive
thanksgiving was like hell but i give thanks that i’m alive
i don’t care that i don’t mean it i don’t care that i can’t hide it like i used to what’s the use to it

i will survive but I’ll never recover
the ache comes and goes like scars with the weather
and i’m stuck with the pains and plates of all of the love i still have for you

I’m not mad at you

I thought I could change you for the better
All I did was break you forever
You needed saving
I couldn’t save you this time
All I did was break you forever

i had reasons to run and reasons to fight
don’t ask me why i stayed cause i couldn’t tell you why
i was hopeless i was young i was angry but i thought i was fine

now this place is empty and if the walls could talk
they would tell you how it is and tell you how it’s not
‘Cause I’d never take the blame
On all the things that
I know are my fault

i will survive but i will never recover
The love and the balance will never be covered
You don’t owe me nothing
There’s no debt to me darling
I promise you
I’m not mad at you

I’m not mad at you

I thought I could change you for the better
All I did was break you forever
You needed saving
I could not save you this time
All I did was break you forever

i will survive but I’ll never recover
i will get by but i’ll never get over

“thank you brenn” we all say in unison

[gin]

You know what? Hell yeah, maybe I wont recover, but I WILL survive for as long as possible. This song is beautiful, thank you so much.

[afloweers]

"I will get by, but I'LL NEVER GET OVER." same

[shannon]

For those that need it. Healing isn't a destination, it's not that you're recovered or not recovered, it's a whole spectrum to shift on. Don't get hung up on the thought that you'll never recover bc you still feel bad sometimes. Healing isn't measured in the amount of bad days, it's measured in the increasing number of good days in between the bad ones.

[Apenguin]

I listened to this song 83 times today

[oussamahemrith]

This is incredible. Interpreting it as a conversation between my past and present self

[tae_taesu]

this really feels very personal, thank you brenn as always your art helps me a little to channel this pain.

[Noah_Loves_Dinosaurs]

"Don't ask me why I stayed, I couldn't tell you why" I feel in my core

I cannot stop sobbing- I can't stop thinking about how my nan's death anniversary is (3 days before my birthday) next month and she'll never see me turn 17, 18+. Everyone tells me I should be over it but I'm not, and this song stabs me in the heart over and over because I relate so deeply.

[f.otosbysharon]

Just woke up to this on a cold rainy morning, your voice has so much life and it makes want to run out and scream to every song. Thank you Brenn.

[masonleblanc]

You never miss Brenn. Your lyrics hit deeper than any other artist

[brookiej]

I keep finding myself listening to this. I’ve played it all day basically. It’s truly one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever listened to. Thank you. This song does something to me. It makes me feel stronger. ❤

[eileenlazaro]

I’m obsessed with this song it’s a blessing

[eumtybt]

this morning i screamed it in my room and then in my car with my mom on my way to school. u really touch souls

[onlysaturn]

actually one of the most gut wrenching songs i’ve heard in a while.

[beanvillus]

"I will survive but I'll never recover"
That's what I'm afraid of. The things they did to me will stay with me forever, i will always have attachment issues because of the way they treated me. Because of the way they excluded me. Because of the teachers, the adults, the daycare workers who should have said something but didn't.
Am i beyond redemption?
I know I'm healing. But still, i think a little piece of it might always be left.

[dollpigtails]

This song man. I will learn to recover and survive but the pain will never full go away. Grief is so hard. This song hits me in the hardest places but it is so beautiful
