[Verse 1]
It lives in my head sometimes, yeah, it knocks at the door
Telling me I’m too far gone, telling me I’m not sure
But I got your look in my eyes when I pass the mirror
And I say, "Girl, breathe, you’re still here, get clearer"
I been down in that doubt like a room with the shade pulled low
Still I caught one little spark in the middle of the cold
You can hear me if you’re close, I’m still picking up the pieces
Still naming my reasons, still feeding my courage
[Pre-Chorus]
If you see me slip, don’t count me out
I’m turning the fear into something loud
Step by step, I’m learning the route
Watch me now, watch me now
[Chorus]
’Cause even when it’s living in my head
I know there’s happiness ahead
I keep on saying my own name
I keep on walking through the rain
I believe in me, I believe in me
I believe in me, I believe in me
[Verse 2]
I got bruises from the days when I talked myself small
Now I wear my own face like a banner on the wall
No, I’m not fixed, I’m just moving, I’m just making it known
Little by little, stone by stone, I’m building my home
I still trip on the same old line when the night gets mean
But I got hands on the wheel now, and I got a clean heartbeat
If I fall, I rise different, I don’t need perfection
I need motion, I need truth, I need my reflection
[Pre-Chorus]
If you see me slip, don’t count me out
I’m turning the fear into something loud
Step by step, I’m learning the route
Watch me now, watch me now
[Chorus]
’Cause even when it’s living in my head
I know there’s happiness ahead
I keep on saying my own name
I keep on walking through the rain
I believe in me, I believe in me
I believe in me, I believe in me
[Bridge]
You there, listening close, if your heart’s been heavy too
Let me tell you what I had to learn getting through
We don’t need a perfect day to begin again
We just need one brave breath, one small yes, one step
[Chorus]
’Cause even when it’s living in my head
I know there’s happiness ahead
I keep on saying my own name
I keep on walking through the rain
I believe in me, I believe in me
I believe in me, I believe in me
[Outro]
I know there’s happiness
I believe in myself
I’ll keep trying, keep trying
Till I feel like myself
