Prompt / Lyrics
**“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.
