Hook:Addiction doesn’t kick the door down…it waits ‘til I leave it unlocked on a bad day.I hear it call, but I don’t turn around…I’m here to fight—oh baby, I’m here to stay.
Verse 1:It’s not that I think I’ll be fine…it’s that for a second, I don’t care if I’m not.
My mind gets quiet in the worst kind of way,like giving up almost feels like a thought I forgot.
Pre-hook:The worst part?I know exactly how the story ends…and my mind still asks if I wanna reread it again.
Hook:Addiction doesn’t kick the door down…it waits ‘til I leave it unlocked on a bad day.I hear it call, but I don’t turn around…I’m here to fight—oh baby, I’m here to stay.
Verse 2:So I sit with the silence instead of the noise,let it hurt, let it pass, let it say what it says.
I’ve been learning my name without all of the pain,finding pieces of me I don’t have to repress.
Yeah, the truth is I’m an addict—I won’t run from that,but that’s not where I end, that’s just part of my past.
I’m more than the nights that I almost lost,more than the doubts that I hold when they crash.
And I still feel small in a room full of mirrors,still fight every voice tryna tear me apart…but I’m building something stronger than fear now,even if it’s just a start.
Hook:Addiction doesn’t kick the door down…it waits ‘til I leave it unlocked on a bad day.I hear it call, but I don’t turn around…I’m here to fight—oh baby, I’m here to stay.
Verse 3:I’m picturing mornings that don’t feel like war,a life I don’t have to escape from at night.
Little hands reaching up, pulling me forward,reminding me daily I’m doing this right.
I’m learning to trust what the people I love see,even when I don’t believe it myself…
That I’m worth more than damage, more than my worst days,more than the version I was when I fell.
And I’m building it slow—every choice, every breath,not perfect, just present, just trying my best…
If they stand by my side, it’s ‘cause I’m worth standing for,and maybe one day I’ll believe that the rest.
Final Hook:Addiction doesn’t kick the door down…it waits ‘til I leave it unlocked on a bad day.I hear it call, but I don’t turn around…I’m here to fight—oh baby, I’m here to stay.
Outro:One day at a time…your fight matters, beautiful.
