Long Way Through

Verse 1

I been walking with a weight on my chest,

Smiling through it, but I ain’t been my best.

Loved someone I didn’t know how to keep,

Lost a lot of sleep trying not to feel weak.

Pre-Chorus

I made some wrong turns I can’t erase,

But I’m learning how to live with the pain.

Chorus

It’s been a long way through, but I’m still me,

Still got a heart, still believe.

I bent, I broke, I fell apart,

But I didn’t lose the best of my heart.

I ain’t perfect, that much is true,

But I’m healing slow… yeah, I’m making it through.

Verse 2

I chased a feeling just to feel okay,

Late nights, bad habits, bills to pay.

Every scar got a story behind,

Every loss taught me something in time.

Pre-Chorus 2

I ain’t asking for a second chance,

Just a little peace and a place to stand.

Chorus

It’s been a long way through, but I’m still me,

Still got a heart, still believe.

I bent, I broke, I fell apart,

But I didn’t lose the best of my heart.

I ain’t perfect, that much is true,

But I’m healing slow… yeah, I’m making it through.

Bridge (R&B touch – softer)

If you hear my name in a late-night song,

Just know I tried, I was holding on.

Final Chorus (slightly bigger)

It’s been a long way through, but I’m still here,

Still learning how to face my fears.

I lost my way, but I found my truth,

And I’m healing slow… yeah, I’m making it through.

Outro

Long way through…

Still standing
