Bend Dont Break

Bend Dont Break

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

INSPIRATION

The trigger for this song was the idea of, “trying to overcome shadows of the past that haunt our every move.” We need time to heal before entering a new relationship, so we bend but don't break, as we are still working on our own issues and find it difficult to take on new issues involved in a new relationship without breaking. This song started out about, “loving ourselves and understanding our needs,” so we first learn to live with ourselves before we try to live with someone else and understand their needs. The theme is resilience, strength, and growth amidst challenges and adversity. “Bend But Don’t Break” is about a journey of healing and self-discovery, as we are all still a work in progress, trying to heal even as some some scars remain. Sometimes it looks like we are avoiding our partner, but in reality we are taking time to heal our own pain. It’s about embracing challenges and taking a new path, and trusting that we are trying, even when we fail, as we keep growing. The song encourages us to bend but not break, and to give ourselves time to heal.
