**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 strongerâ¦
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
