[Verse 1]
Woke up tired of my own excuses
Same old fears on the nightstand
Coffee cold, but your hand is steady
Tracing circles on my back again
[Pre-Chorus]
I break down, you don’t break away
You just breathe and you just stay
[Chorus]
Getting over my issues ain’t easy
But it’s easier with you next to me
When my doubts start talkin’ like they own me
You remind me who I’m gonna be
I don’t know how long it’s gonna take
But I feel a little braver every day
Getting over my issues ain’t easy
As long as I have you next to me
[Verse 2]
I get lost in the worst-case stories
You turn pages I can’t see
Say, “Baby, look how far you’ve come now”
Kiss my scars like they’re victories
[Pre-Chorus]
I fall hard, you don’t let me land
You pull me closer with both hands
[Chorus]
Getting over my issues ain’t easy
But it’s easier with you next to me
When my past starts knockin’ on my front door
You’re the voice that tells it, “Let her be”
I don’t know how long it’s gonna take
But I feel a little braver every day
Getting over my issues ain’t easy
As long as I have you next to me
[Bridge]
Maybe healing’s just these little steps
Shaking while I try, but I try my best
And every time I start to slip away
You say, “We’ll figure it out, we’ll be okay” (yeah)
[Chorus]
Getting over my issues ain’t easy
But it’s easier with you next to me
When my heart starts racing for the wrong reasons
You slow it down, help me breathe
I don’t know how long it’s gonna take
But I feel a little braver every day
Getting over my issues ain’t easy
As long as I have you next to me
As long as I have you
Right next to me
