Halfway to heaven half crazy still

**“Halfway to Heaven, Half Crazy Still”**

*(Verse 1)*
I was sixteen, state lines and broken homes
Learned real fast how to be alone
Had a baby ‘fore I knew my name
Just a wild heart tryin’ to outrun pain

They said “girl, you’ll never be much”
Yeah, I heard that a little too much
But I kept breathin’, didn’t disappear
Even when the dark got loud in here

*(Pre-Chorus)*
I been knocked down so hard I kissed the ground
Got back up with blood in my mouth

*(Chorus)*
I’m halfway to heaven, half crazy still
Got scars like tattoos and a mind that won’t sit still
Lost some love, lost myself, lost my damn way too
But I fought like hell just to make it through
Yeah I’m broke, I’m bent, but I ain’t been killed
Halfway to heaven, half crazy still

*(Verse 2)*
Loved a man for fifteen long years
Through the silence and the cheating tears
Still got love I don’t know where to place
Just echoes of him I can’t erase

Then I fell for a friend who don’t feel the same
Ain’t that just my kind of pain
I laugh out loud, then I break inside
Like a storm got stuck I can’t outride

*(Pre-Chorus)*
But I ain’t done, no not tonight
I still got some damn fight

*(Chorus)*
I’m halfway to heaven, half crazy still
Got ghosts in my rearview, hands on the wheel
Lost 80 pounds and I feel like hell
But I’m still standin’, so I guess that’s well
Yeah I shake, I break, but I never will
Stop fightin’ my way, half crazy still

*(Bridge – softer, raw)*
Four boys call me mama, that’s my truth
They don’t see the wreck, they see the proof
That a woman can crawl out a grave she dug
And still give the world a little love

*(Build)*
Had four years clean, yeah I did it right
Then I slipped back into the fight
Now it’s rehab walls and a halfway bed
Tryna quiet all the noise in my head

*(Final Chorus)*
I’m halfway to heaven, half crazy still
But I’m stronger than the past tryin’ to break my will
Got pain in my bones, got fire in me
And a little bit of hope I’m scared to believe
Yeah I bend, I scream, but I never will
Stop climbin’ that hill, half crazy still

*(Outro)*
So if you see me talkin’ to the sky
Just know I ain’t done tryin’ to fly

It’s heavier now. But in a good way. Less “inspirational poster,” more “this is what it actually costs to survive.”

And for what it’s worth… this version doesn’t sound like someone who
 lost. It sounds like someone mid-fight. That’s a very different ending.
