Dont Break Me

Don’t break me, I’ve been doing alright

Still get lost in my thoughts some nights

Still lay awake when the room goes dark

But it don’t hit me the way it did at the start

I used to sit here staring at my phone

Waiting on a text that never came at all

Now the screen lights up and I don’t feel the same

Guess time has a way of changing things

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’ve been moving on lately

Yeah, I still think about your green eyes

But I don’t need them to save me

Sometimes I hear a song we would’ve liked

And for a second I’m back in that time

Then the moment passes and I let it go

That’s just how these old memories flow

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’ve been healing slowly

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’m not who I used to be

Some nights I still miss what could’ve been

Some nights I still let you back in

But when the morning sunlight shines through

I’m still okay without you

Somewhere along the way I changed

Stopped putting all my worth in a name

Stopped chasing every little sign

Stopped trying to force what wasn’t mine

And maybe I needed all that hurt

To figure out what I really deserve

Maybe every sleepless night I spent

Was leading me right to this

I still got scars, I still got ghosts

Still got memories I hold close

But they don’t weigh me down like before

They just remind me what I’ve grown from

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’ve come too far lately

Spent too many nights rebuilding

To let myself go crazy

I thought healing meant forgetting

Like one day you’d disappear

But healing’s just remembering

Without wishing you were here

And that’s the part nobody says

You don’t erase what’s in your head

You just learn to carry it

Without letting it carry you instead

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’ve been healing slowly

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’m not who I used to be

Some nights I still miss what could’ve been

Some nights I still let you back in

But when the morning sunlight shines through

I’m still okay without you

Don’t break me, don’t break me

I’ve been finding peace lately

Yeah, a part of me will always care

But I don’t need you to complete me

Still lay awake some nights

Still get lost beneath the lights

But when the morning comes into view

I know I’ll be okay without you
