Verse 1
I used pain ’cause it worked so fast.
’Cause it drowned out the weight of the past.
I called it coping. I called it control.
Never asked what it took from my soul.
Chorus.
Now I’m learning how to stop.
Before I make it worse.
Learning how to sit with it.
Let it hurt before it bursts.
I don’t win it every time.
But I don’t fall the same.
Verse 2
The urge still shows up now and then.
Like muscle memory under my skin.
I notice it. I breathe it through.
I let it pass. Don’t let it choose.
Outro.
I’m not whole yet.
But I’m holding on.
I don’t need a miracle.
Just another dawn.
