[VERSE / HOOK STYLE - emotional loop]
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
[HOOK LOOP]
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
[VERSE / HOOK STYLE CONTINUES]
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
[BRIDGE]
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
[FINAL HOOK]
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
Vesper
