Woke up to bills and bad news again
The coffee's cold and so's the rain
Another message I don't want to hear
Another silence that cuts like fear

They say stay strong but they don't know
The weight I carry just to show
A smile that's ditched from thread and grease
Still standing in the same old place

I'm not broken but I bend
More often than I care to send
A prayer to skies that don't reply
Just echoes fading in the sky

How much can one heart take
Before it starts to crack and shake
I keep on walking though I ache
Still dreaming wide awake

I've lost, I've bled, I've made mistakes
But here I am for heaven's sake
How much can one heart take
Enough to bend but not to break

The light went out but left no sound
Just quiet footsteps fading down
Friends moved on or disappeared
And laughter turned to souvenirs

Still I show up, still I breathe
Stack my hopes like autumn leaves
They fall, they break, but I still try
To find the courage not to cry

Not asking for a miracle
Just something real, something small
A hand to hold, a warmer light
A place to rest if not to fight

How much can one heart take
Before it starts to crack and shake
I keep on walking though I ache
Still dreaming wide awake

I've lost, I've bled, I've made mistakes
But here I am for heaven's sake
How much can one heart take
Enough to bend but not to break

There's beauty in the broken things
In shattered hopes and fraying strings
And maybe strength is just the grace
To keep on going just in case

How much can one heart take
Before it learns it doesn't break
I'll keep on singing for my sake
Still dreaming wide awake

I've lost, I've loved, I've made mistakes
But here I am, whatever it takes
How much can one heart take
Still standing tall for my own sake

How much can one heart take
Before it learns it doesn't break
I'll keep on singing for my sake
Still dreaming wide awake

I've lost, I've loved, I've made mistakes
But here I am, whatever it takes
How much can one heart take
Still standing tall for my own sake

How much can one heart take
Still standing tall for my own sake
How much can one heart take
