[Verse 1] Morning comes heavy Like a coat soaked through You count your steps Before the day counts you A cup goes cold By the sink again You keep moving slow Just to make it end [Pre-Chorus] And it keeps changing What home used to mean Hands on the doorframe Heart in between [Chorus] You learn to bend You learn to breathe Ripple effects Under your sleeve You learn to bend You learn to breathe One day at a time That’s how you survive [Verse 2] The mirror knows What the body won’t say A friend turns up Then drifts away Some love grows quiet Some love grows near You hear who stays You hear who fears [Pre-Chorus] And it keeps changing What trust used to be New names for courage New ways to need [Chorus] You learn to bend You learn to breathe Ripple effects Under your sleeve You learn to bend You learn to breathe One day at a time That’s how you survive [Bridge] Not the same road Not the same skin Still, your next step Is a kind of win [Final Chorus] You learn to bend You learn to breathe Ripple effects Under your sleeve You learn to bend You learn to breathe Little by little You keep on living
