Verse 1
Some days feel heavier than they should
Like the weight of the world’s on my chest
I wake up tired, worn down to the bone
Trying my best just to take one step
I’ve learned how to smile when my heart’s breaking
Laugh so no one sees the pain
But in the quiet, when the lights go low
That’s when the tears start to rain
Pre-Chorus
I’ve cried on floors I never thought I’d kneel
Questioned if I’m strong enough to stand
But every time I think I’m at the end
I feel a hand reach for my hand
Chorus
I’m pushing through the hard times
Not giving up tonight
Smiling through the tears that fall
Just trying to survive
I cry through all the tough times
But I still hold my ground
‘Cause my family and my friends
Are the strength that won’t let me fall down
Verse 2
I’ve faced the storms with shaking knees
Wondered how much more I could take
Every scar tells a story of a fight
I didn’t know I’d have the courage to face
They don’t see the nights I barely breathe
Or the prayers whispered in the dark
But I hear their voices in my head
Reminding me of who I am
Pre-Chorus
When my hope feels paper-thin
And my faith is hanging by a thread
They remind me I’m not alone
And I don’t have to be fearless
Chorus
I’m pushing through the hard times
Not giving up tonight
Smiling through the tears that fall
Just trying to survive
I cry through all the tough times
But I still hold my ground
‘Cause my family and my friends
Are the strength that won’t let me fall down
Bridge
When I’m weak, they carry me
When I doubt, they make me see
That I’m stronger than I know
And I don’t have to walk alone
Every tear, every scar
Every mile’s brought me this far
Their love is the fire in my soul
The reason I don’t let go
Chorus
I’m pushing through the hard times
Not giving up tonight
Smiling through the tears that fall
Still reaching for the light
I cry through all the tough times
But I still stand my ground
‘Cause my family and my friends
Are the strength that keeps me standing now
Outro
So I’ll breathe, I’ll rise again
Even when the road bends
With their love behind my determination
I’ll make it through… in the end
