[Verse 1]
I tell the room I'm doing fine
Then count the cracks along the blinds
A borrowed smile, a practiced phrase
I wear it through the longest days
[Pre-Chorus]
But when the quiet starts to press
I hear the parts I can't confess
Still, somewhere underneath the noise
A little pulse becomes a choice
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be okay
With every fear I hide away
The night gets loud inside my head
But I get up again instead
I'm alone, but not erased
I take one breath and hold my place
These inner demons know my name
They won't decide how I remain
[Drop]
I get up again
I get up again
They won't decide how I remain
I get up again
[Verse 2]
The morning finds me on the floor
I leave the dark beside the door
A message waiting, face down still
I need some time to find my will
[Pre-Chorus]
No perfect answer, no clean line
Just one more step that still is mine
And though the weight returns at night
I learn the shape of borrowed light
[Chorus]
I'm trying to be okay
With every fear I hide away
The night gets loud inside my head
But I get up again instead
I'm alone, but not erased
I take one breath and hold my place
These inner demons know my name
They won't decide how I remain
[Bridge]
If I go quiet, I am here
If I feel broken, I can heal
No one can see the work it takes
To choose tomorrow when I shake
[Final Chorus]
I'm trying to be okay
I won't let fear become my fate
The night gets loud inside my head
But I get up again instead
I'm alone, but not erased
I take one breath and hold my place
These inner demons know my name
They won't decide how I remain
[Outro]
I get up again
One breath, one step, one day
I get up again
