I was a ten-year train wreck
With a last-call longneck
I was searchin', I'd been hurt real bad
Movin' on, gettin' sidetracked
One step forward and five back
Not your fault, I was scared to fall
And I don't know why
Why you saw something in me, baby
Girl, but you saw right through
All the pain, and you came and saved me
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way
To fix what you didn't break
You were the star in the pitch black
Shine the way on the way back
Out of nowhere, answered all my prayers
Picked up the towel that I threw in
Took in a heart that was ruined
Showed me the past ain't a tattoo
Loved me even when you didn't have to
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way
To fix what you didn't break
To fix what you didn't break
And I don't know why
Why you saw something in me, baby
Girl, but you saw right through
All the pain, and you came and saved me
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way
To fix what you didn't break
To fix what you didn't break
Fix What You Didn't Break Video (MV)
"Fix What You Didn't Break" is a song that rolls up its sleeves and wades right into the messy business of healing and redemption. Nate Smith lays bare his personal struggles, painting himself as a "ten-year train wreck" - a man who's been dragged through the emotional mud and back again.
The chorus is a raw, heartfelt thank you to Smith's lover, who somehow manages to see past all the emotional carnage left over from his previous wrecked relationships and is willing to "fix what you didn't break."
"I've always been a huge fan of big epic pop rock songs of the 2000's," Nate Smith said of the song. "Bands like Lifehouse, Goo Goo Dolls, 3 Doors Down were all influences in my early teens. 'Fix What You Didn't Break', to me, feels like the perfect blend of 2000's rock and heartfelt country."

I was a ten-year train wreck
With a last-call longneck
I was searchin', I'd been hurt real bad
Movin' on, gettin' sidetracked
One step forward and five back
Not your fault, I was scared to fall
And I don't know why
Why you saw something in me, baby
Girl, but you saw right through
All the pain, and you came and saved me
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
Picked up the pieces
It wasn't the mess that you made
Could've left me just the way you found me
But you came and put your wings around me
Girl, you went out of your way

You were the star in the pitch black
Shine the way on the way back
Out of nowhere, answered all my prayers
Picked up the towel that I threw in

Showed me the past ain't a tattoo
Loved me even when you didn't have to
Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely
Weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me
