Verse:
D
I've been carryin' things I don't say
Bm7
Keep my head up through the shame
G
Made mistakes I can't erase
A
Paid the price in quiet ways
D
I've loved wrong I've lost faith
Bm7
Held on long past too late
G
Still tryin' to be someone new
A
After all the hell I've been through
Chorus:
D
I might bruise but I don't break
Bm7
Took every hit that came my way
G
I've been tired I've been afraid
A
But I'm still fightin' every day
D
Ain't been easy I make mistakes
Bm7
Felt the pain try to take me down
G
Held on tight through the ache
A
I might bruise
D
But I don't break
[Instrumental/Solo]

Learned the hard way what's real and fake

But every fall taught me the same
A
You get back up or stay in pain

D
I might bruise but I don't break
