Crushed And Created

**Capo 7**

Verse 1:
                                                       
Looking back on the things that found me
                             
Places I would never choose
                                                            
The same things that both haunt and heal
                             
My demons and my muse

Chorus:
                                                 
We are crushed and created
                                
We are melted and made
                                                      
We are broken and built up 
                            
In the very same way
                                      
What I thought I could handle
                                      
What I thought I could take
                                      
What I thought would destroy me
                                           
Leaves me stronger in its wake

      

Verse 2:
                                                                 
And there are times that I ve underestimated
                                                              
Both the grief and goodness found in something new
                                                                                 
Where one thing dies, something else can be created
                                                                                
And though it s truth you find, it s innocence you lose

Chorus:
                                                 
We are crushed and created
                                
We are melted and made
                                                      
We are broken and built up 
                            
In the very same way
                                      
What I thought I could handle
                                      
What I thought I could take
                                      
What I thought would destroy me
                                           
Leaves me stronger in its wake

      
       Ooooo.


                                
I m not the me that I started with
                               
My friends say my eyes are brighter
                               
I m not the me that I started with
                                                   
I m freer, and I m wiser, and I m stronger…

Chorus:
                                                 
We are crushed and created
                                
We are melted and made
                                                      
We are broken and built up 
                            
In the very same way
                                      
What I thought I could handle
                                      
What I thought I could take
                                      
What I thought would destroy me
                                   
Leaves me stronger, stronger
                                                 
We are crushed and created
                                
We are melted and made
                                                      
We are broken and built up 
                            
In the very same way
                                      
What I thought I could handle
                                      
What I thought I could take
                                      
What I thought would destroy me
                                           
Leaves me stronger in its wake


                                        
           It leaves me stronger
