I Don’t Know How to Be
From Unbroken
Verse 1:
I woke up and forgot for a second
Then it came back all at once
Like the room learned a new silence
And my name feels too much
Verse 2:
Your chair is still where you left it
Nothing here knows you’re gone
The world didn’t even slow down
It just kept moving on
Pre-Chorus:
Everyone keeps asking how I’m doing
Like there’s something I could say
But I don’t know how to answer
I don’t know how to stay
Chorus:
I don’t know how to be
In a world where you’re not
I don’t know who I am
When I’m missing the one thing I’ve got
I don’t feel brave
I don’t feel strong
I don’t feel anything right or wrong
I just don’t know how to be
Now that you’re gone
Verse 3:
I still reach for the phone
Like I always did before
Then I remember there’s no one
On the other side anymore
Pre-Chorus:
They say time will do something
They say I’ll understand
But right now time is just passing
Through empty hands
Chorus:
I don’t know how to be
In a world where you’re not
I don’t know how to breathe
When the air feels like it stops
I don’t feel faith
I don’t feel grace
I just feel the shape of your place
I don’t know how to be
Now that you’re gone
Bridge:
If love is supposed to be forever
Why does it end like this
If I’m strong, why am I breaking
Over every little thing I miss
Final Chorus:
I don’t know how to be
And I don’t need to yet
I don’t need answers
I don’t need what’s next
I just need one more moment
To fall apart
I don’t know how to be
With this weight in my heart
Outro:
I don’t know how to be
