Killswitch Engage - I Am Broken Too Lyrics






You carry this weight trying to cover your mistakes
To make it seem like nothing could ever break you

But I see right through, 'cause I am broken too
In all the same places as you
And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
Reopen my wounds, yeah

I see myself in you
(In you)
I know you can make it through

If you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
In all the right places for you
So now you see the truth that you are broken too
I'll reopen my wounds for you

I keep making the same mistakes, just to feel alive again
It's the only way to break on through
So stop numbing all the pain
'Cause it just won't go away
(Won't go away)
If you only knew how much I needed you

And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
(My wounds)
In all the right places for you
I can see the truth 'cause I am broken too
I am broken too
(Broken just like you)

Killswitch Engage I Am Broken Too Comments
  1. c.... ....

    This so my song to the girl it broke my heart in peices didn’t realize I was doing her so wrong I miss her so much I’ll do anything for her to know that

  2. L.... P....

    Such a powerful message and a video that drives it home. Never ever give-up! Listen to and recognize the signs.

  3. Z.... ....

    Not ashamed to say that this song makes me cry. Feeling understood is something very powerful and the lyrics alone are extremely powerful but hearing the pain in Jesses voice just ads on top and makes this the hymn of the broken seeking for each others care

  4. S.... F....

    Such powerful song. I was once broken. I have contemplated suicide due health and mental problems. I wanted to take my life so I didn't have to suffer and be in pain. I fought my demons and won. I got help and that why I'm alive. If your ever on the edge, get help as soon as possible, please

  5. G.... B....

    great effort by these guys, a constant in a sea of variables

  6. R.... R....

    *Damien Rice* is broken too

  7. M.... K....

    I've had a rough youth got involved in crime and ended up homeless, I made an attempt to take my life cause I couldn't stand the endless drag anymore and a friend stopped me. 2 days later I met the nicest people ever, they took me into their home and gave me space to breath, look for a new house and clean up my act.
    For who ever reads this, you're not alone and will overcome the darkness. Your life counts and is precious❤️

  8. M.... T....

    Emotional

  9. S.... ....

    I love KSE!!!!!!

  10. A.... ....

    it really saddens me that powerful songs like this don't get mainstream attention, instead we get bullshit pop music getting awarded at the grammys instead of music like this that helps numerous people push through their hard times

  11. Q.... H....

    I cried but thanks for this. Cheers

  12. j.... ....

    I remember when killswitch engage used to put their lyrics in the description, it's a damn shame they've stopped that

  13. R.... F....

    Just like the rapper Logic was recognized for his 1 800 song, KSE needs to be recognized.
    What a powerful video and song.
    GREAT FUCKING JOB GUYS.

  14. b.... b....

    😫😫😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😥😥😥😥😥😖😖😖😖

  15. V.... ....

    Struggling with PTSD from the military, the harsh realitys of life, that one hard relationship, the regrets that are held tight. This song sinks deep. This song also reminds me what I could have let myself become, but I kept fighting through those long days and nights, I sought the help i needed for so long, I kept pushing for the present and future of my life. I've come a long way but sometimes it still hits hard I've what I've endured and fought for so long.

  16. O.... ....

    I'm sorry. I've lived with depression and anxiety. I've tried changing my destiny alot of the time and am now thinking about giving up and committing suicide. Really to fucking god. Fuck life. Fuck humanity. Fuck me that I was even born into this world with flaws and imperfections. I'd rather rid the pain by ending my life right now rather than continue to live with it. That way no one, not evening my loved ones have to see me in pain. Changing my destiny my ass. It is not as simple as putting it to words.

  17. X.... ....

    I though that i would get used to this video but even after the 1000th time i still shed a tear... I wish everybody could watch and listen to this at least once. This new album is a masterpiece \m/

  18. R.... M....

    I was introduced to this song by my now boyfriend. Before we got together we were both so fucked up in the head (still are a little bit) because our ex's were physically and mentally abusive. Both considered suicide just to get away from the pain. I didn't think I could be with him because I felt so used and disgusting. He sent me this song and the rest is history. It's as if we were supposed to have met to help each other heal. I have never met a man like him in my life. He's my soul mate.

    For anyone who has ever been in the same position. It does get better. Give it time 🖤

  19. N.... D....

    one of the best songs of Killswitch Engage

  20. T.... o....

    That is a pretty good song. I dig.

  21. D.... ....

    KsE has been one of my favourite bands since I was at least 13 (I'm 25 now). They were my first concert, saw 'em live the day I turned 14. Their music has helped me through so, so much. I could write at least 3 books about the trauma and my fucked up mental state and physical health problems, so I'm not going to touch on them here. But they've always been one of my anchors, one of the things that help keep me a little more grounded, one of the things that help pull me back from the edge when I'm ready to dive, again and again and again. We may not know each other on any personal level, but the messages in their music are powerful enough to make a real, material impact on me. I would like to meet at least one of the band members once just to personally thank them for all they've done for me, even if they didn't know. Just because...they deserve to be thanked.


    I am broken too; so thank you for being one of the threads that helps hold me together.

  22. A.... ....

    So, The Guy is going through Drug Withdrawals, But it is too hard for Him to do.

    And His Pregnant Wife either lost the Baby or left Him because He is an Alcoholic?.

    Depressed as Fuck... Tried to end it with a Plastic Bag.

    But!
    Phone Numbers and Websites are there.
    But what if YOUR NOT IN A TALKING MODE?.

    Or Your Wi-Fi Is Slow as Fuck?.

    Holy shit.
    Now i'm sitting here, and just crying like a little child.

    - Cause thats with evry picture 1:1 the story of my past two living years.
    I see myself in evry scene.

    I'm 32 years old, i'm brooken too, and 2020 will be my fucking year where i punch the devil out of hell!

    Thank's so much for this very imoportant song.
    Best regards from Germany.
    And never surrender!

    Video with attutude.

  59. C.... O....

    Thanks for saying what has been so hard for me to say. From suffering with this disorder and having my wife and young kids see it when it was happening. I can never forgive myself for that. So glad I got help to get me through it. This song and video will do it for you. Makes me cry my eyes out one minute and the next minute happy that I made it out alive! Thanks KSE for putting it into words for those who couldn't!!

  60. D.... R....

    I have lost a few of my brothers that I served in combat with to suicide and I myself deal with anxiety and PTSD due to events that happened in Iraq. I can't thank my wife, family, and my buddies enough for the help and hope that they give me when the going gets tough. Depression is an evil monster but if you have the proper support, you can persevere.

  61. R.... ....

  67. C.... C....

    hi other jesse

  68. G.... F....

    I encourage all people to watch this video!

  69. B.... C....

    People don't realize or understand how powerful depression is and how quickly it can drive a person to the edge of no return.
    I'm speaking from personal experience. In 2017 I just about ended it all! I had lost my kid's, and my wife. I was coming off pain pills my doctor had prescribed me ( oxycodone 15) for my chronic pain.
    Anyway, my whole world had come crashing down around me and it took a lot out of me. I did get the help I needed though.
    Looking back now, I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger, or take that dive, because now, now I have my family back!
    Thing's are still hard for me dealing with being disabled. I still deal with depression and such, however, now I talk about it with my old lady and I don't just stuff thing's down like I used to.
    It's not easy, but I don't want to see that side of life again.
    People just don't realize that the human mind can only take so much before it snap's! Sometimes people reach out and those around them don't see the signs or they ignore them. Please, please pay attention to those you love, because you never know what may be going on in that person's head. You never know how serious it may be. Most people who are at that edge don't say anything, and often, no one knows until it's too late!
    Pay attention people, because you never know when that loved one may not be there anymore.

    Сильно.

  81. R.... G....

    Battled suicide and being diagnosed with major depression at the age of 11. Somedays songs like this can make life seem worth trying to live. And let others know mental illness is something you can let eat you alive or choose to use the hurt and pain use it as strength to carry on.

  82. C.... T....

    If you only knew how much I needed you 🖤

  83. T.... B....

    I see lots of people leaving their personal stories of how they can relate to this song. I'll give mine. All my life for as long as I can remember I have struggled with depression and anxiety. 3 years ago they were at an all time high, I was very frustrated, angry and toxic and I believed it all got too much for my then girlriend. We were together for 9 years and I believed we would be for life. Well we broke up right when I was going through the worst I have ever been. I didn't think I could survive without her, she was all I had in a life of misery but I was horrible to her and I don't know how she tolerated me for as long as she did. I have never endured a pain as bad in my life as when we ended and I was left alone with this crippling depression and anxiety. For two years after we finished I spent all my free time trying to literally hide from myself and my thoughts. Every possible minute I would get black-out drunk, take pills and snort coke. I'd beg people to stay out drinking til the dawn or to bring me back to their place cause I couldn't bear to be alone. I would wander the streets at all hours of the night and morning in a drunken haze, tears streaming down my face. Many times I passed out asleep on the street. I lost all desire to live and respect for my body and mind. A few times I came close to ending my life and confessed this to my ex until she told my family and they reached out to me in worry. I ended up in a constant state of dating and associating myself with toxic people who only made me worse. I ended up sitting the streets with homeless people in the late hours, giving them whatever I could and spending time talking with them to try make use of my life by helping them. After a few years of this madness I managed to pull myself together and eventually beat my own demons and find myself a special person who was like a light in the darkness. I honestly don't know how I survied the madness I put my mind and body through. These days I feel like a totally different person with a totally different outlook on life. I appreciate all the people and blessings I have in my life. The depression and anxiety is still there but I've learned to deal with them a lot more efficiently and healthily, cause I believe these things never really completely go away. If you would have told me 3 years ago that I would be who I am today I would honestly laugh with disbelief. I now believe there is always a way back from the brink, given enough time.

  84. S.... H....

    I can't stop hearing this song...

  85. S.... H....

    This shit jus literally brought a tear...because am broken too

  86. J.... F....

    Best song on an already forgettable album.

    Bring back that epic Times of Grace sound.

  87. J.... B....

    After dealing with PTSD with being abused as a kid, my Mom dying in my arms from a drug overdose, and much more for over 25 years now, this song hits me hard in the feels and speaks volumes to me.

    But it also a real eye opener, it shows me that I am not alone in this fight. Thank you Killswitch Engage for your dark, beautiful, prolific lyrics. They have been truly inspirational, to say the very least.
