Who Broke The Girl?

A thoughtful reflection on a wounded life. Flowing with this girl through hers from the time she's born, through the times she learns how to feel broken, and then the times her dreams break apart on her. Always finding the strength to move forward on her own road, despite the broken pieces that trip her up. Never giving up hope on her dreams, even the ones too hard to hold on to, or the ones never meant to be made real. The girl won't have a name here. The only way to understand the girl is to hear what's inside of her, the same things inside of everyone - love, fear, beauty, guilt, loyalty and shame. The only way to know the girl is to learn what she chooses for herself. To abandon a good life, in the city where she feels the happiness that comes with her freedom, for a boy that will take over control of her life. To run through different lives lived across the world; hooked on the happiness of starting over and moving to cities where no one knows her, so she can see different parts of herself more clearly. Only to come back to the first city she abandoned, with the hope that its energy can bring her happiness. Feel what's done to her, what she does to herself, in all of these places that eventually break her, before she breaks off from them. Universal in the emotions she experiences, the lyrics of this girl's life voice the strength of hope on the road to finding one's own happiness.
