Lyrics

Verse 1:
Got a brand-new pair of boots, still a little too tight,
Ain't quite ready for a long Friday night.
Like a heart that's fresh off a goodbye,
Gonna take some time to feel just right.

Pre-Chorus:
Scuff 'em up, wear 'em down, let 'em find their groove,
Same way I'm getting over you.

Chorus:
I'm breaking in these leather soles,
Walking off the weight of letting go.
A little stiff, a little sore,
But every step don't hurt like before.
It takes some time, but I know I'll win,
One day I won't feel it...
Yeah, I'm just breaking in.

Verse 2:
Got a brand-new barstool where I sit alone,
Bartender's startin' to call me his own.
Like a heart that's learning how to trust,
It still hesitates, but it don't rust.

Pre-Chorus:
Sip by sip, song by song,
I'm finding where I belong.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Ain't no shortcut, ain't no way 'round,
You break things in before they're broke down.

Final Chorus:
I'm breaking in this brand-new life,
One deep breath at a time.
A little stiff, a little sore,
But every step don't hurt like before.
It takes some time, but I know I'll win,
One day I won't feel it...
Yeah, I'm just breaking in.

Outro:
Yeah, I'm breaking in... not breaking down.
