8 Months Free

Verse 1:
Used to wake up with a bottle,
Chasing ghosts from the night before.
Jäger on my breath,
Stumbling through another closed door.
Said I'd quit a thousand times,
But that poison had me tied,
Every promise broke like glass,
Another round, another lie.
Pre-Chorus:
But now the fog has lifted,
And I see the sky so clear.
No more drowning in the darkness,
No more running from the fear.
Chorus:
Eight months free, no chains on me,
No Jäger whispering who I should be.
Used to think it gave me power, made me whole,
But now I'm stronger, now I'm in control.
Living my best life, I finally see,
Eight months sober, and I’m proud to be me.
Verse 2:
Used to think I needed poison,
To have a good time, to feel alive.
But it stole more than it ever gave,
Left me empty, left me blind.
Now the music sounds clearer,
And my laughter is real,
No regrets at the bottom,
Just a heart that can finally heal.
Pre-Chorus:
But now the fog has lifted,
And I see the sky so clear.
No more drowning in the darkness,
No more running from the fear.
Chorus:
Eight months free, no chains on me,
No Jäger whispering who I should be.
Used to think it gave me power, made me whole,
But now I'm stronger, now I'm in control.
Living my best life, I finally see,
Eight months sober, and I’m proud to be me.
Bridge:
Every day’s a battle, but I fight to win,
No more pouring out my soul just to pour it in.
I found the high in waking up,
Clear-eyed, alive, and full of love.
Chorus (Big Finish):
Eight months free, no chains on me,
No Jäger whispering who I should be.
Used to think it gave me power, made me whole,
But now I'm stronger, now I'm in control.
Living my best life, I finally see,
Eight months sober, and I’m proud to be me.
Outro:
Yeah, I’m proud to be me…
Eight months strong and finally free.
