Broken But Ours
Emotional punk / alternative rock song with a strong, forward-driving drum focus and clean, undistorted instrumentation. Drums are powerful, punchy, and human—tight kick and snare, energetic fills, and dynamic builds that carry the song’s momentum. Guitars are clean to lightly gritty, rhythmic and percussive, no heavy distortion or fuzz. Bass is warm, steady, and locked tightly with the drums. Tempo around 108–112 BPM, straight groove with urgency and heart. Vocals are raw and expressive, imperfect in a human way, blending emotional lead singing with gang vocals and chant-style “da-ba-da” hooks. Overall vibe is cathartic, sincere, and uplifting—punk in spirit, not aggression—focused on resilience, shared grief, and finding joy in imperfect moments.

Lyrics
Verse 1
We set an extra place at the table
Didn’t talk, didn’t ask why
Just let the quiet sit between us
Like it earned the right
She laughed, then caught herself
Like joy crossed a line
Came back in through the side door
Didn’t knock this time
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t plan to feel okay
Didn’t think I’d stay
But here we are—
Still standing anyway
Chorus
It’s not easy, but I’m here
Da-ba-da, we’re still right here
Life didn’t give us what we asked for
But it didn’t steal this now
It’s not pretty, it’s not clean
Da-ba-da, but it’s real to me
Yeah it’s broken—
But it’s ours
Post-Chorus – Chant
Da-ba-da
Da-ba-da
Still here now
Verse 2
You don’t leave when the room goes silent
You just change your shape
In the pauses, in the glances
In the names we don’t erase
We don’t wrap this up in answers
We don’t call it fate
We just hold what’s still breathing
And learn how to wait
Pre-Chorus
Didn’t plan to let this in
Didn’t call it a win
But something warm
Is cutting through the skin
Chorus
It’s not easy, but I’m here
Da-ba-da, we’re still right here
Life didn’t give us what we asked for
But it didn’t steal this now
It’s not pretty, it’s not clean
Da-ba-da, but it’s real to me
Yeah it’s broken—
But it’s ours
Bridge – Drop then Build
This ain’t closure
This ain’t peace
Just a breath we didn’t think we’d keep
(drums kick in)
We don’t move on
We don’t forget
We make room for love
And live with it
Final Chorus – Bigger, Louder
It’s not easy, but we’re here
Da-ba-da, year by year
Life didn’t give us what we asked for
But it didn’t take this now
It’s not pretty, it’s not clean
Da-ba-da, but it’s breathing
Yeah it’s broken—
But it’s ours
Outro – Gang Vocal
Da-ba-da
Da-ba-da
Still ours
Still ours
