Story Behind The Song
Originally written around 2005 on the piano, and sounded more like an Evenescence Rock Ballad. Unfortunately as my movement disorder began to affect my vocal chords, and ability to play instruments, I had to find a new way to write to fit my vocals. I recreated the song to fit a modern alternative song where I could use my vocals the way that was easiest. It took time, as with all my music that I record these days, but I do enjoy the way this version turned out.

Lyrics
Broken Thoughts
Written By: PJ Bennett Lyrics, Melody, Music
(Pamela Jean Bennett)
Do you believe in the person I'm not
Do you believe in the heart that I've got
Do you believe I'm here for real
Or am I lost in my Broken Thoughts?
Can you see me
For who I am
Inside my heart and mind
Are you willing
Or afraid
Of what you might find
How can I know
Not to hide from (you)
And that you will find me
How can I show
That I am real
Do you believe in me
Take my hand now
Hold my heart, it's
Hangin' on my sleeve
And save me from my
Broken thoughts
And just believe in me
Believe in me
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
When I touch you
Can you feel
That you can be free
And when I kiss you
You can breathe
Your love inside me
Don't be afraid To
Look in my eyes
And let me see
That you have something
It's deep inside
You can't hide it from me
Take my hand now
Hold my heart, it's
Hangin' on my sleeve
And save me from my
Broken thoughts
And just believe in me
Believe in me
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh
Just believe in me
I remember the night
You came into my life
Beaming like the sun
You brought me back into the light
Sweetened by the dreams
I realize I must be still asleep
Only to wake to find
The secrets inside my mind I keep
Locked up deep inside you know that
I am barely alive
Are you able to hide,
The salty tears I cry
Do you believe in the person I'm not
Do you believe in the heart that I've got
Do you believe I'm here for real
Or am I lost in my Broken Thoughts
I feel you reaching
And I will hold
Your hand in mine
I believe in
You and now
Not what was left behind
When the night comes
I will be there
And hold you while you sleep
When the dawn comes
I will be there
And wake you from your dreams
And take my hand now
Hold my heart it's
Hangin' on my sleeve
Save me from my
Broken Thoughts
And just believe in me
Believe in me
Oh, oh,
Just believe in me
