Lyrics
Verse 1:
When I look into your eyes
As you’re staring back at me
I shiver in your void
So cold and so empty
Verse 2:
And I gasp a little breath
The words still on my lips
The air feels silent cold
Against my fingertips
Pre-chorus:
And I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know what to do
To bring you back to life
From this death/depth you’ve fallen into
Chorus:
For all the battles that we win
The wars that we lose
The blood still on your sword
The dust still on your boots
As you walk out of my life
As you fall out of my hands
I wonder just which step
Made you a broken man
Verse 3:
When I hold your calloused hands
As you’re gripping tight to me
I shudder in your grasp
So hard and so angry
Verse 4:
And I cry a little tear
The pain still in my eyes
The sadness in my soul
All bundled up inside
Pre-chorus:
And I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know what to do
To bring you back to life
From this death/depth you’ve fallen into
Chorus:
For all the battles that we win
The wars that we lose
The blood still on your sword
The dust still on your boots
As you walk out of my life
As you fall out of my hands
I wonder just which step
Made you so broken
Bridge:
I know the road is long
And I know that heaven’s far away
But I know you’ll carry on
And come back to me someday
Chorus:
For all the battles that we win
The wars that we lose
The blood still on your sword
The dust still on your boots
As you walk out of my life
As you fall out of my hands
I wonder just which step
Made you so …
Outro:
I can be the love
I can be the life
I can be the heaven
You’ve come so far to find
I can be the victory
That makes you strong and whole
I can be the lasting peace
That mends your broken soul

beautiful… <3 <3
I love this song so much…it speaks straight into my heart.
great lyrics.. great song!
I love this album cover, too, mainly because of the design and the way you are standing in it. The masquerade dress you are wearing ties in with the colours of the album cover perfectly. As always, you look beautiful wearing it.
Michael
It doesn’t show from these photos, but it is actually just a blouse. Although, I do love all that intricate beadwork :)
It’s just a blouse? Wow….I thought it was the masquerade dress!! The blouse is gorgeous – red is your colour!!!
Michael
Well, I’m glad you like it because I’ve gone with a black, white, and red theme :)
You’re welcome, Ashe
…nice song,and I also saw,
very good improvisation from by Gökhan Özkaya !
This song was the first one I heard from you. I’ll never forget how I randomly clicked on stereomood, displeased with how much I found I didn’t like (I’m a bit picky with music) but then I clicked on this one, and just listened in awe! It was so fantastic!
It took only seconds before I began watching your stuff, and I tell you, this is rare; I love everything you’ve made so far!
I wish you the best of luck, always!
Another good song.
fire and brimstone, you ARE amazing
Very powerful lyrics. Normally I listen to the music first and the lyrics second, but the lyrics of this song drew me in very quickly. Excellent.
HELL YEAH! 0 dislikes! amazing! =]
You have put it all together in “Broken Man”. Of course your voice is the given. The melody moves and is compelling. You have contrast: This song departs from the nearly chronic crescendo of some of you other songs. The lyrics are deep and varied. You avoid cliches. They are cohesive and fit the melody. I do not know if you are the writer or collaborator or someone else wrote this song specifically for your voice. Am I writing to the wrong person?
Thank you :) As for your question, I wrote the music and my sister wrote the lyrics.
wow you have such an amazing voice that I know that you will make a wonderful super star some day
You have a beautiful voice! Keep it up! :)
excellent job on this track. I like the overall production, especially the piano work. Good vocals. You have a beautiful voice.
I love your voice! Keep it up!
Awesome
I subbed your great channel
Cheyenne
Nice to see you moved ‘Broken Man’ to your primary song. It’s your best {:^)?
Beautiful. Reminds me of Plumb, which is one of my favorite female artists!
Absolutely wonderful.
Powerful voice. You shine with greatness.
(( Awesome ))
Wonderful!
you have an amazing voice
You have a unique voice O:, I enjoyed hearing your talent.
*Subscribes & hopes for more future songs like this or even greater x)!
AWSOME
Beautiful voice!!!
You have such a beautiful voice and the lyrics are just so amazing. Your voice reminds me a little bit of my older sister’s, but she has more of a crooner’s voice whereas you seem to have a more classical voice. I hope to hear more of your music in the future!
A fine voice and powerful lyrics.
AWESOME
first
yippee for you. Beautiful by the way
lovely!!! i thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
Sounds like it would be from a sad scene in a movie
So beautiful!!!! I want to download SO BADLY!!!!!!
Awed. Sharing where I exist.
I agree that it does sound sad but. I don’t often like listening to instrumentals because I’m very lyrical but that was very beautiful and I couldn’t shut it off when it started
u r the best

Positively beautiful. This song makes me want to cry.

Rock Band Network Must Have.
Powerful song. Reminds me of Evanescence. Lovely lyrics.
For me It’s like Evanescence,combined with We Are The Fallen,and a little something else. But anyways,this is a beautiful song.
Ashelyn ..i love you !..this is my fav song by you .!!!!..big hugs from the sooner state!
u look so pretty and u have an incredible voice
Ashelyn, just love this song, I find myself feeling that way about all your songs.
Very nice sound:) Kinda remind me of the singer from Evanescence
Thanks for the contact add. It was well worth it, I see.
Your voice amazing. Great songs! :)
Sweet song, I love this :)
Wow, your amazing! Incredible voice and the music goes with it perfectly. In my opinion, the way the music is played and ESPECIALLY your voice, sounds a lot like Evanescence. Truly beautiful, way to go! :D
This really is beautiful. It reminds me of someone riding on their horse in the forest under a full moon. You have an amazing voice.
Well a nice voice should sing with the heart. Without the heart,there would be no emotion to make the song nor voice great…rock on! XOXOX
Shees. That was so extraordinary in talent, that if I listened to secular music, I would have bought that. That is phenom in talent level, lyrics, and song. Wow.
*I don’t even listen to secular music, really. But this is so beautiful a voice — I shared to fb. Beautiful, Ashelyn. Be blessed.
I will like this EVERYTIME i listen..love this…!!!

This is some of the most pure music that I have heard in a long time, the piano is breathtakingly beautiful, the violin goes along beautifully with your voice, oh and your voice is the best I’ve ever heard in my whole 16 years on this planet, and the electric guitar adds a spice to the music!! It all adds together to make the most appeasing music ever created.
Thank you for sharing….absolutely beautiful…I love your music…..signed: a hopeless romantic
