Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Eyes on the ceiling
Hands shaking under the sheet
Breathing like every breath
Is ten miles of concrete
I feel worn through
Paper-thin
Inside and out
Heart keeps beating anyway
Even when my hope runs out
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have a bright side ready
I don’t have a clever line
But there’s this tiny flicker
Saying “get up one more time”
[Chorus]
One small step at a time
One slow breath
I’m still alive
I’m down
I’m broken
But I’m not staying on this ground
I bend
I’m shaken
But you won’t see me bow out
I won’t quit
Not me
I won’t quit
Not me
One small step at a time
[Verse 2]
Coffee gone cold
Phone full of unanswered calls
Pulled all the curtains
Like I’m hiding from it all
But my feet find the floor
[low vocal register] that’s a start
I guess
I stand up in the silence
Call it a tiny protest
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t have it all together
I barely made it out of bed
But I’m learning how to listen
To the softer voice instead
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] I’m not fine
But I’m still fighting
[build] Bruised
Not done
My pulse
Still writing
Every scar
A rough translation
Of a quiet declaration
I’m not out
I’m not finished
Every breath
Says I’m still in this
[Chorus]
