(Verse 1)
I woke up early, tried to clear my head
Put some distance between what I feel and what’s said
Every step just circles back to you
Like I’m walking forward… but I’m not getting through
I tell myself this is what I need
A quieter life, just space to breathe
But no one tells you when you choose to change
You don’t just lose them… you feel it every day
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
And I say I trust this road I’m on
Like I know where it goes, like I know I’ll be strong
But some nights I still don’t believe it’s true
I just learn how to sit here… without you
⸻
(Chorus)
If you could see me now, I’m still the same
Still chasing something I can’t explain
Trying to build what I said I would
Even when it don’t feel good
And I won’t call you, I won’t pretend
That we could go back there again
But God, I’d be lying if I said it’s easy
Nothing good is… nothing good is easy
⸻
(Verse 2)
I’ve got routines now, I’m holding the line
Doing the things that I said were mine
Trying to be who I said I’d be
For the ones who still look up to me
Some days I’m clear, some days I’m lost
Some days I feel every part of the cost
Not just of you… but who I was
And everything we were because
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
And I don’t miss every part of us
There were things we both couldn’t fix
But I miss the way it felt back then
Before it all came down to this
⸻
(Chorus)
If you could see me now, I’m still the same
Still fighting through it day by day
Trying to build what I said I would
Even when it don’t feel good
And I won’t call you, I know it’s done
We both walked away from what we’d become
But some part of me still believes it could be easy
Even though I know… nothing good is easy
⸻
(Bridge)
Maybe this is just how it goes
You let it burn, then you let it go
Two different lives we couldn’t hold
But I still feel it more than I show
⸻
(Final Chorus)
If you could see me now, I’m still here
Still facing everything I feared
Still moving forward like I said I would
Even when it don’t feel good
And I won’t reach out, I’ll play my part
With your name still somewhere in my heart
Not asking for more, not needing a reason
Just learning the truth… nothing good is easy
⸻
(Outro)
Nothing good is easy…
Guess that’s how it’s meant to be
