Sun’s out, but I feel the chill inside

Quiet moments, but fear won’t hide

I’ve built my rhythm, I’ve walked my pace

But I hear whispers that want my space

Coffee cools, phone buzzes again

Memories creeping from way back then

I tell myself, “Don’t ruin this, stay calm”

But anxiety’s knocking, trying to harm

I’ve come too far to fall back in

I see the shadow, but I won’t let it win

Don’t ruin this, I’ve worked too hard

Don’t take my peace, don’t leave me scarred

I’m standing steady, I’ve earned my ground

You won’t take me without a sound

Don’t ruin this, I’ve got my fight

I’ll hold my calm through the night

I’m learning to live, I won’t let go

Even when the fear starts to show

Quiet streets, my mind races fast

Thoughts of failure, reminders of the past

I’ve slipped before, but not today

I’ll keep my balance, I’ll find my way

Friends call, love shows, routines stay

But fear still lingers in a subtle way

I don’t ignore it, I don’t pretend

I face it head-on, I refuse to bend

I’ve come too far to fall back in

I see the shadow, but I won’t let it win

Don’t ruin this, I’ve worked too hard

Don’t take my peace, don’t leave me scarred

I’m standing steady, I’ve earned my ground

You won’t take me without a sound

Don’t ruin this, I’ve got my fight

I’ll hold my calm through the night

I’m learning to live, I won’t let go

Even when the fear starts to show

Yeah, it whispers, it waits

But I’ve walked through the fires of my mistakes

I won’t let it cloud the sky so blue

I’ve got too much life to let it through

Don’t ruin this, I’ve worked too hard

Don’t take my peace, don’t leave me scarred

I’m standing steady, I’ve earned my ground

You won’t take me without a sound

Don’t ruin this, I’ve got my fight

I’ll hold my calm through the night

I’m learning to live, I won’t let go

Even when the fear starts to show
