[Verse 1]
Seven years sober, but I still feel the ache
Used to drink 'til I couldn’t see straight
Pourin' pain into a glass each night
Thinkin’ numb was better than the fight
Woke up in places I don’t even know
Chasin’ ghosts through the bottle’s glow
Heartbeat slow, couldn’t catch my breath
Flirtin’ way too close to death
[Pre-Chorus]
Midnight sirens, hospital lights
Nurses rushin’, sayin’ “Hold on tight”
Grandpa cryin’, hands to the sky
“Please don’t let my baby girl die”
---
[Chorus]
But I’m still here, scars and all
Climbed outta hell just to learn how to crawl
Seven years dry, still chasin’ the light
Fought every demon just to make it through the night
Yeah, I broke, I bled, but I made that vow
And I ain't touched a bottle since then 'til now
Seven years sober — look at me now
---
[Verse 2]
I still get haunted by the things I’ve seen
Friends in caskets, dreams torn at the seams
Whispers in my ear when the nights get cold
But I remind myself — I’m in control
Letters from rehab, tears on the page
Lookin’ in the mirror, tryin’ to find my age
But every day clean is a battle I win
And every sunrise feels brand new again
---
[Pre-Chorus]
I found hope in the quiet and grace in the pain
Learned love doesn’t grow when you drown it in shame
My grandpa’s prayer, still rings in my soul
He begged for my life — now I’m takin' control
---
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m still here, scars and all
Built a new life from every fall
Seven years strong, no poison inside
No more runnin’, no more lies
I broke, I bled, but I made that vow
And I ain't touched a bottle since then 'til now
Seven years sober — I wear it proud
---
[Bridge]
Now I help the broken, speak for the lost
Tell 'em every drink comes with a cost
But there’s a road back, there’s always time
If you’re breathin’, baby, you can still shine
---
[Final Chorus]
‘Cause we’re still here, scars and all
We rise again after every fall
Seven years clean, and I still cry
But I smile too — I survived
I broke, I bled, but I made that vow
And I ain't touched a bottle since then 'til now
Seven years sober — and I’m free somehow
