Broken Without Breaking

Some nights we hold our breath just trying not to fall apart
Some days the smile we wear feels borrowed from a different heart
We tell ourselves to keep it together, even when we shake
Trying not to show the world the weight we barely take

But hiding all the hurt just makes the hurt feel even worse
We're human, meant to feel
Not meant to rehearse

And if you're barely standing
I'll stand next to you
If you don't know your strength yet
I'll remind you of the truth

We're broken without breaking
Holding on when life gets hard to bear
We're shaking but we're staying
Even when the world forgets we're there

And every time we fall apart
We rise again repaired
We're broken without breaking
And we're stronger 'cause we care

We bend
But we don't disappear
We bend
And we heal right here

We've carried things in silence we were never meant to hold
We've learned to stay alive by being braver than we're told
We've walked through storms alone that others wouldn't dare to face
But here we are, still breathing, finding beauty in our pace

You're not a burden for the battles you've survived
You're proof that broken people
Still come back alive

And if the nights feel endless
I'll sit with you through all of them

We're broken without breaking
Holding on when life gets hard to bear
We're shaking but we're staying
Even when the world forgets we're there

And every time we fall apart
We rise again repaired
We're broken without breaking
And we're stronger 'cause we care

It's okay to fall to pieces
I'll be right there on the floor
No one heals without the hurting
That's what all these scars are for

And if you forget your worth again
I'll hand you back your name
You don't have to hide your trembling
I shake the very same

We're broken without breaking
And we make it through because we try
We're fragile but awakened
Finding strength where tears have dried

And the pieces that we're scared of
Are the proof that we survived
We're broken without breaking
And together, we'll be fine

We bend
But we don't disappear
We bend
And we're still right here
