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…
