[Verse 1]
She folds the letter
Shoves it deep in a cracked old drawer
Bills on the table
Coffee gone cold by the kitchen door
Bruises you can't see
Shadows she swallows each night
Once she dreamed wide open
Now she just makes it to sunrise
[Chorus]
She's still standing in the dark
Heart like embers
Still a spark
Breathing heavy
But she's alive
Living on scraps of the sky
She ain't winning
But she tries
Every tear just feeds her fire
She is hurting
She is tired
But her spirit
Her soul never dies
[Verse 2]
Half-finished painting
Colors trapped in a cardboard box
Dress from a wedding
Hanging limp on a busted lock
Friends stopped calling
Numbers fade in a shattered phone
But in the bathroom mirror
She tells a stranger
"You are not gone"
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] One more step
One more breath
One more "not today" to the dark in her chest
[whispered vocals] Even if the world forgets her name
She is more than all this pain
[Chorus]
