If it's a broken heart then....

Details in the Fabric
by Jason Mraz

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads saying
Breaking yourself up.

If it's a broken part, replace it
But, if it 's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it.

And hold your own,
Know your name,
And go your own way.

And hold your own,
Know your name,
And go your own way.

And everything will be fine.
Everything will be fine.
Hmm...

Hang on,
Help is on the way
Stay strong,
I'm doing everything .

And hold your own,
Know your name,
And go your own way.

And hold your own,
Know your name,
And go your own way.

And everything, everything will be fine.
Everything.

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts the result of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream.
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Yeah everything will be fine.
Everything in no time at all.
Everything.

And hold your own,
Know your name,
And go your own way.


Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name.)
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts the result of static cling? (Go your own way.)

Are the details in the fabric (Hold your own, know your name.)
Are the things that make you panic (Go your own way.)
Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

Are the things that make you blow (Hold your own, know your name.)
Hell, no reason, go on and scream.
If you're shocked it's just the fault
(Go your own way.)
Of faulty manufacturing.

Everything will be fine,
Everything in no time at all
Hearts will hold.

Another song discovery from this summer...but it has been running through my head the past couple days.

If it's a broken heart then face it.

I'd rather be able to just replace the broken part. It is so much easier than facing a broken heart...even a heart that has been mending for so long.

Hold your own, know your name. Go your own way.

So much easier said than done. I am trying to find my own way...trying to find out who I am...trying to hold my own as best as I can. But no matter how hard I try, it seems that even trying to go my own way my path slips and slides beneath me. The trail I am trying to blaze is not as sturdy as I want it to be.

Are the details in the fabric, are the things that make you panic, are your thoughts the result of static cling?

The first time I heard this song, this was pretty much all I heard--all the details in the fabric, constantly running through my head...every tiny little detail bogging down my brain...and sometimes all my thoughts are is static...in there are all the things that make me panic...

And if you're shocked it's the fault of faulty manufacturing.

A lot of days I feel as though I was faultily manufactured. As though they were a kink in the mold I came out of, or I have a part that should have been recalled...

Everything will be fine....

If I try to hold my own, and go my own way? When? How? How long must I wait?

These are how the days go sometimes. I feel so positive and chipper, and then my path slips and slides beneath me, and I falter. I am in one of those times where I feel very alone and separate. Where the rest of the world seems to tick and click along, and I am left behind....staring at the details of the fabric, and all the things that make me panic.

If it's a broken heart then face it.

Can't I just run it through Mother Nature's sewing machine?
