Lyrics

How man y times can (Eb)one heart (Bb)break?

It was nev er s’posed to (Eb)be this (Bb)way.

Look in the mir ror, but you (Bb)find some one you (F)nev er thought you’d (Eb)be.

Oh, but I can still (Eb)rec cog (Bb)nize the one I love in your (Eb)tear stained (Bb)eyes.

I know you might not (Eb)see it (Bb)now, so (F)lift your eyes to (Ebsus2)Me.

When you see bro ken be yond re pair, I see heal ing be yond be lief.

When you see too far gone,

I see one step a way from home.

You see noth ing but dam aged goods, I see some thing good in the mak ing.

I’m not (Gm7)fin ished yet.

When (Ebsus2)you see wound ed, I see mend ed.

You see your (Eb)worst mis (Bb)take, but I see the (Eb)price I (Bb)paid.

And there’s noth ing you could (Eb)ev er (Bb)do to (F)lose what grace has (Eb)won.

So hold on, it’s (Eb)not the (Bb)end.

No, this is where love’s (Eb)work be (Bb)gins.

I’m mak ing (Eb)all things (Bb)new, and (F)I will make a mir a cle of you.

When you see bro I see mend ed.

I see My child, My be lov ed, the new cre a tion you’re be com ing.

You see the scars from when you fell, but I see the sto ries they will tell.

You see worth less, but I see price less.

You see pain, but I see a pur pose.

You see un (Bb)worth y, un de serv ing, but I see you through eyes of mer

cy.

When you see bro ken be yond re pair, I see heal ing be yond be lief.

You’re not (Gm7)too far gone,

you’re one step a way from home.

When you see noth ing but dam aged goods, I see some thing good in the mak ing.

I’m not (Gm7)fin ished yet,

no.

When (Ebsus2)you see wound ed, I see mend ed.

Oh,

I see mend ed.

Whoa,

oh, I see mend

ed.

I’m not (Gm7)fin ished yet.

When (Ebsus2)you see wound ed, I see mend ed.

About “Mended”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Mended"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature Eb. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Mended" by Matthew West played in?
Mended is arranged in the key of Eb on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Mended"?
The arrangement plays at 144 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Mended" easy to play on piano?
This is an advanced arrangement. We recommend breaking it into sections and using the speed control to drill harder passages.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Mended" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature Eb, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 144 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
