[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]
