Lyrics
Shadows of the past, haunt my every move
Untying the knots, trying to improve
Please understand, it’s not about you
I’m learning to love me, and it’s long overdue
I’m a work in progress, imperfect but true
Still finding my way, not yet bulletproof
I’ll weather the storm, my core won’t shake
Give me time to heal, so I bend but don’t break
It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I’m scared
To let you see the darkness, my soul has been bared
I’m resilient, a spirit that is awake
Give me time to heal, so I bend but don’t break
So I bend but don’t break
I’m trying to heal, but some scars remain
I’m not avoiding you, I’m just healing my pain
Even in adversity, I found strength through the ache
Give me time to heal, so I bend but don’t break
I’m still a work in progress, a puzzle undone
I need to fix myself before We become one
Through life’s trials my ground shakes
Give me time to heal so I bend but don’t break
It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I’m scared
To let you see the darkness, my soul has been bared
I’m resilient, a spirit that is awake
Give me time to heal, so I bend but don’t break
So I bend but don’t break
Trust that I’m trying, even when I fail
I’ll keep working to mend, but it’s a tough trail
Embracing challenges, a new path I’ll take
Give me time to heal so I bend but don’t break
It’s not that I don’t care it’s just that I’m scared
To let you see the darkness, my soul has been bared
I’m resilient, a spirit that is awake
Give me time to heal so I bend but don’t break
So I bend but don’t break
I am still a work in progress, it’s true
But I promise to keep growing for you
Give me time to heal so I bend but don’t break
Give me time to heal so I bend but don’t break
