Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the table Doctor bills piled by the door I fold tiny shirts from the dryer Feel my heart drop to the floor Some days I’m scared of the mirror Some days I barely can speak But you drew me suns in the margins Called me “strong” when I felt weak [Chorus] Even when I’m losing my way I know my children loved me That little hand in mine still stays Inside my memory I believe in myself Every bruise Every breath Every scar I keep Even when I’m losing my way Your love keeps walking with me [Verse 2] Missed a school play I remember Cried in my car in the rain You climbed right into the front seat Said “Mama It’s really okay” (oh-oh) Photos stuck under the magnet First-day shoes by the stairs Every laugh in my old voicemail Proves I tried Proves I still care [Chorus] [Bridge] I am more than my mistakes More than every sleepless night Every time I thought I broke You were there to hold the light So I keep trying I keep trying (yeah) One small step Then one more beat I’m not perfect But I’m present That’s the promise that I keep [Chorus]
