Lyrics
[verse]
I've been bent and I've been broken but I always find my shape,
Every heavy blow that hits me, I still find a way to escape,
The minimalist piano plays a quiet, steady beat,
Reminding me that even bruised hearts learn how to compete.
[verse]
I've built a kind of armor out of everything I've learned,
Every fire that surrounded me is a fire I have burned,
The raw emotional rhythm keeps rising soft and true,
Telling me that resilience is the hardest thing I do.
[chorus]
And I've got an elastic heart, and I've got an elastic heart,
I might snap back a little slower but I never fall apart,
I've got an elastic heart, and I've got an elastic heart,
Learning how to bend but never break apart.
[verse]
Some days the weight feels heavy, some days I feel so small,
But something in my center always answers to the call,
The slow tempo carries me through every rise and fall,
Teaching me that bending doesn't mean I have to crawl.
[chorus]
And I've got an elastic heart, and I've got an elastic heart,
I might snap back a little slower but I never fall apart,
I've got an elastic heart, and I've got an elastic heart,
Learning how to bend but never break apart.
[bridge]
(instrumental — minimalist piano, raw emotional slow build)
[chorus]
And I've got an elastic heart, and I've got an elastic heart,
I might snap back a little slower but I never fall apart,
I've got an elastic heart, and I've got an elastic heart,
Learning how to bend but never break apart.
