How to Heal

Verse 1 (gentle, reflective)

Sitting in that chair again

Trying to make it make sense

You say “start where it hurts the most”

I don’t even know where that is

You tell me “feel it, don’t run”

But I’ve been running so long

If I stop, I might fall apart

So how do I stay this strong?

Pre-Chorus (build)

You say take it slow

Let it come, let it go

But it don’t feel simple

Like you make it sound

Chorus (melodic, emotional)

You say “heal… just heal…”

But how I’m supposed to feel

Everything I tried to bury

Coming back so real

You say “breathe… just breathe…”

But it’s heavy on me

I don’t know where to start

When it’s all this deep

Tell me how to heal

When it don’t come easy

Verse 2 (more honest, raw)

You say “you’re safe right here”

But my mind don’t agree

It’s like every time I open up

Something breaks in me

You say “give yourself grace”

I don’t know what that means

I’ve been hard on myself so long

Soft don’t feel like me

Pre-Chorus

You say sit with it

Don’t fight it, just exist

But I’m scared of what comes up

When I really do

Chorus

You say “heal… just heal…”

But how I’m supposed to feel

Everything I tried to bury

Coming back so real

You say “breathe… just breathe…”

But it’s heavy on me

I don’t know where to start

When it’s all this deep

Tell me how to heal

When it don’t come easy

Bridge (soft, almost whisper)

Maybe it’s not one step

Maybe it’s breaking down

Maybe healing ain’t pretty

Maybe it’s sitting in it now

Maybe I don’t gotta fix it

All at once, all today

Maybe healing just means

I didn’t run away

Outro (quiet, hopeful)

I’ll try… I’ll try…

Even if I don’t know how…

One breath… one step…

I’m still here right now…
