[Verse 1]
I left the kettle cold beside the sink
Counted every bill twice before I blinked
The hallway coat still smelled like yesterday
I wore it out and carried on that way
[Pre-Chorus]
Some days I only manage one small thing
Wash the cup, unlock the door, let daylight in
[Chorus]
I’m not healed, but I’m still here
Breathing through the hardest year
If my hands shake, let them shake
I can bend without becoming what I break
There’s a road beneath these tired feet
Even when I cannot see the street
I’m not healed, but I’m still here
And that is enough for now, my dear
[Verse 2]
I missed a call from someone I should trust
Let the phone ring out because I felt too much
Then wrote three words and erased them all
Some bridges start with standing near the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
The morning does not ask me to be brave
It only leaves a little room for change
[Chorus]
I’m not healed, but I’m still here
Breathing through the hardest year
If my hands shake, let them shake
I can bend without becoming what I break
There’s a road beneath these tired feet
Even when I cannot see the street
I’m not healed, but I’m still here
And that is enough for now, my dear
[Bridge]
One day I’ll open every curtain wide
Call back the voice I keep on my side
But tonight I’ll put my shoes beside the bed
Make a promise I can keep instead
[Final Chorus]
I’m not healed, but I’m still here
Breathing through the hardest year
If my hands shake, let them shake
I can bend without becoming what I break
There’s a road beneath these tired feet
And I’m learning how to meet the street
I’m not healed, but I’m still here
A little closer than I was, my dear
[Outro]
The kettle warms, the room turns gold
I take one step, then one more slow
