(Verse 1)
She wakes up with the weight again,
That quiet ache beneath her ribs.
Puts on her smile like armor,
Pretends she’s stronger than she is.
Says she’s “just tired,” when really
She’s unraveling at the seams—
But no one sees the shaking hands
Hidden in her jeans.
(Pre-Chorus)
She jokes too much to cover up
The storm inside her chest.
She hides the heartbreak with
“Aha, yeah I’m fine, I guess.”
(Chorus)
But she’s a work in progress,
A masterpiece unfinished.
A girl who’s hurting quietly,
But refuses to be diminished.
She’s fighting shadows in her mind,
Trying not to lose her spark—
Whispering to herself,
“I just need one light in the dark…”
(Verse 2)
She’s the type to lift up others
When she can’t lift herself.
Keeps her battles private
Like a book she hides on the top shelf.
But every night she wonders
If she’ll ever feel enough—
She’s tired of being strong alone,
Tired of acting tough.
(Bridge)
But one night, when she’s falling,
When the world feels far too loud—
She hears footsteps getting closer,
Feels a hand pull her from the crowd.
Turns out she wasn’t alone—
Not even for a second.
Her friends found her in the darkness
Like they always said they would…
She just never believed she deserved it.
(Chorus)
She’s a work in progress,
A masterpiece unfinished.
A girl who’s hurting quietly,
But refuses to be diminished.
She’s fighting shadows in her mind,
Trying not to lose her spark—
And then she sees them—
Her people holding lanterns in the dark.
(Outro)
Now she walks a little lighter,
Still healing, still unsure…
But she’s learning she’s not broken—
She’s becoming something more.
And when the nights get heavy,
She remembers one small truth:
Even in the deepest darkness…
Her friends will find her
And guide her through.
