Verse 1
I drink cold coffee at the kitchen sink
Watching daylight lose the fight
There’s a note I wrote and never sent
Still folded in my back pocket tonight
Everybody thinks I’m doing fine
Because I don’t complain out loud
But you don’t survive by being strong
You survive by staying around
Pre-Chorus
I don’t need a miracle
I just need the night to slow
Chorus
These are soft hours in a hard life
When the world finally shuts up
I don’t need answers or headlines
I just need a little enough
To remind me I’m still breathing
When the weight won’t let me rest
These are soft hours in a hard life
When I talk to my own chest
Verse 2
I keep my boots by the bedroom door
Like I might leave before I sleep
There’s a highway humming outside
Like it knows too much about me
They say time is a good friend
But it never picks up the phone
It just watches you grow into
The things you used to outrun
Pre-Chorus
I don’t want to disappear
I just want to feel here
Chorus
These are soft hours in a hard life
When the silence starts to care
I don’t need perfect or promises
I just need to know I’m there
Somewhere past the second guessing
Somewhere I don’t hold my breath
These are soft hours in a hard life
When I talk to my own chest
Bridge
If tomorrow comes in heavy
I won’t ask it to be kind
I’ve been carrying my own name
Like it’s something I can find
Final Chorus
These are soft hours in a hard life
When the dark stops acting tough
I don’t need saving or silver lines
I just need a little enough
To believe I’m not invisible
When the days don’t make no sense
These are soft hours in a hard life
When I finally feel like I exist
