[Intro]
hey...
(hey...)
look at me...
(just for a second...)
I know...
[Verse 1]
I know that look
(I know...)
I know that stare
Like you're somewhere far away
and halfway there
You get quiet
(close the world out...)
pull the curtains closed
Like one bad day
means all the healing goes
(and I know why...)
I know why you'd think that now
[Pre-Chorus]
When it hurts like this
Everything feels bigger
[Chorus]
I know it feels like backwards
(I know...)
I know it feels that way
Like everything you've worked for
slipped through your hands today
But just because it hurts today
doesn't mean it won
Bad days don't mean backwards
(no... no they don't...)
not this one
[Post-Chorus]
mm-mm...
(I know...)
not this one...
(not this time...)
[Verse 2]
I know you hate it
when it comes back round
When an old fear
finds a way back in somehow
(and that's the worst part...)
Cause you thought you'd left it
somewhere behind
Now it shows up uninvited
and steals your peace for the night
I hate seeing you hurt like this
When I know how hard you fought
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't lose the progress
Just because you feel the pain
[Chorus]
I know it feels like backwards
(I know...)
I know it feels that way
Like one bad night
erased a thousand better days
But just because it hurts today
doesn't mean it won
Bad days don't mean backwards
(no... no they don't...)
you're still moving on
[Bridge]
Sometimes I wish you could see
(what I see...)
Cause you're standing in the middle of it
And I'm looking at the whole thing
I see every step
Every scar
Every night you thought you'd break
(and didn't...)
Every time you got back up
When nobody knew
[Breakdown]
Breathe...
(I'm here...)
you're still here
Breathe...
(come back to me...)
you're still here
[Final Chorus]
I know it feels like backwards
(I know it does...)
I know it feels that way
But one bad night can't steal
Everything you've made
Just because it hurts today
doesn't mean it won
(no...)
Bad days don't mean backwards
(my love...)
Look at everything you've become
[Outro]
hey...
(hey...)
look at me
You're not back at the start
(not even close...)
I'm here
