[Verse 1]
I kept your letter in the kitchen drawer
Beside the receipts from the grocery store
Some days the hurt still knows my name
But I don't let it choose the way
[Pre-Chorus]
I can bend without breaking
Take one breath, keep waking
Every mile is proof I'm moving on
[Chorus]
Even when it's heartache, I know there's better days
I believe in the future, though I can't see the shape
When the road gets heavy and the courage feels thin
I will keep fighting, I will rise again
Even when it's heartache, hope is calling my name
[Verse 2]
I changed the lock, washed the coffee cup
Found an old photograph and turned it face-up
There are scars I won't have to hide
They mark the places I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
I can bend without breaking
Take one breath, keep waking
Every mile is proof I'm moving on
[Chorus]
Even when it's heartache, I know there's better days
I believe in the future, though I can't see the shape
When the road gets heavy and the courage feels thin
I will keep fighting, I will rise again
Even when it's heartache, hope is calling my name
[Bridge]
If tomorrow comes slowly, I'll meet it at the door
With the hands that held the pieces, I can build something more
No, I don't need all the answers to begin
I just need one small reason, and the strength to step in
[Final Chorus]
Even when it's heartache, I know there's better days
I believe in the future, let it find me on the way
When the road gets heavy and the courage feels thin
I will keep fighting, I will rise again
Even when it's heartache, hope is calling my name
I will keep fighting, I will rise again
[Outro]
Better days are coming
I believe, I believe
I will keep fighting
