[Intro]
C G Am F
[Verse 1]
C
There were nights I sat in the dark alone
G
With a heart so heavy it felt like stone
Am
Trying to smile when I was falling apart
F
Holding together a shattered heart
C
I had pain I never knew how to save
G
So I carried it deeper every day
Am
And the more I fought just to stay okay
F
The more it felt like I was slipping away
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Bills on the table, fear in my chest
G
Too much pressure, too little rest
Am
Kept telling everybody I'd be fine
F
While quietly losing my mind
[Chorus]
C
And I swear there were moments I was done
G
Too tired to fight, too weak to run
Am
But right when I thought I'd hit the end
F
God stepped in again
C
When I had no strength left in these hands
G
When I couldn't even understand
Am
How I was still breathing through the ache
F C
That's when I knew God didn't let me break
G
When life pushed hard and my faith got faint
Am
When I was bent but not erased
F C
God didn't let me break
G
God didn't let me fall
Am
When I had nothing left at all
He held the pieces, threw it all
F C
God didn't let me break
[Verse 2]
G
There were mornings I could barely rise
Am
With silent tears behind my eyes
F
Trying to pray with an empty soul
C
Asking God just to make me whole
I wore my hurt like a hidden chain
G
Learned how to laugh while carrying pain
Am
And nobody knew how close I came
F
To giving up on everything
C
But grace kept showing up somehow
G
Even when I couldn't feel it then
Am
And mercy stayed when I was weak
F
When I didn't have a prayer to speak
C
I should've folded under all that weight
G
I should've drowned in all that pain
Am
But somehow through every scar I faced
F
God didn't let me break
[Chorus]
C
When I had no words left I could say
G
And no more tears left I could pray
Am
When all I had was hurt and faith
F
That's when I knew God didn't let me break
G
When life pushed hard and my faith got faint
Am
When I was bent but not erased
F C
God didn't let me break
G
God didn't let me fall
Am
When I had nothing left at all
F
He held the pieces, threw it all
C
God didn't let me break
[Bridge]
C
I've been bruised, I've been worn
G
I've been lost, I've been torn
I've had nights I couldn't sleep
Am
And battles buried deep
But every time I almost gave in
F
God reached down and pulled me in
C
When I was weak
G
We stayed the same
Am
That's why I'm here
F
That's why I can say
[Post-Chorus]
C
If I'm still standing
G
It's only by grace
Am
If I'm still breathing
F C
It's only because He carried me
He held me
G
He carried me
Am
When I couldn't carry myself
[Chorus]
F C
Oh God didn't let me break
G
When life pushed hard and my faith got faint
Am
When I was bent but not erased
F C
God didn't let me break
G
God didn't let me fall
Am
When I had nothing left at all
F
He held the pieces, threw it all
C
God didn't let me break
[Outro]
C
When the pressure should have taken me
G
And all the hurt was breaking me
Am
His hand was still making a way
F C
God didn't let me break
G Am
God didn't let me break
F C
No He didn't let me break
So if you're tired
G
If you're hurting
Am
If you feel like life is trying to tear you apart
F
Hold on
C G
Because the same God who kept me
Am
Can keep you too
F C
God didn't let me break
God Didn’t Let Me Break
