Trying Not To Break

Yeah…

Woke up with the world on my back again

Demons in my mind, yeah they act like friends

Bills on the table, dreams in the drawer

Heart full of hope but my feet on the floor

Mama said “son keep your head up high”

Even when the storm clouds cover the sky

Friends turned strangers, trust turned dust

Had to learn real quick who to love, who to cut

Every scar on my soul got a story to tell

Every prayer that I whispered felt trapped in a cell

But the fire in my chest never faded away

Even in the darkness I was fighting for day

I been walking through the rain with this weight on my shoulders

Trying not to break while the world getting colder

Every single step like I’m dragging these chains

But I’m still standing tall through the pain and the flames

Yeah the nights get long but I keep pushing on

Even when the hope feels completely gone

Life hit hard but I’m stronger now

I was lost back then but I’m found somehow

Seen dreams die right in front of my face

Watched good people lose every trace

Of the smile they had when the world felt right

Now they fighting their battles every single night

I know what it’s like when the silence is loud

When you scream inside but don’t say it out loud

When the mirror looking back like “who are you now?”

But you still stand tall, you still take a bow

Cause the struggle builds muscle inside of your heart

Every fall in the dark just a brand new start

Every tear that you cried just watered the seed

Now the pain that you felt turned you into the beast

I been walking through the rain with this weight on my shoulders

Trying not to break while the world getting colder

Every single step like I’m dragging these chains

But I’m still standing tall through the pain and the flames

Yeah the nights get long but I keep pushing on

Even when the hope feels completely gone

Life hit hard but I’m stronger now

I was lost back then but I’m found somehow

Yeah…

They said the pressure make diamonds shine

Every dark road led me to mine

Every loss turned lesson in time

Now my scars just proof I survived

So if you feeling like the world don’t care

And the pain too heavy for one to bear

Just remember every king felt doubt

Before he learned what the fight’s about

Cause the story ain’t done, turn the page again

Every ending just another begin

And the weight on your shoulders might break your fall

But it might be the thing that makes you stand tall.
