One Hour at a Time

VERSE 1

Stranger in the mirror I don't know

Scratching through a thousand alibis

Someone at the bar with something cold

Counting every bridge they burned and tried

Kid behind a locked door in the night

Stealing pills from cabinets in the dark

We don't speak of monsters in our veins

The wars we wage alone, the silent mark

But I see it in your eyes, I know the weight

We're all just fighting every single day

Holding on for something that feels free

We're all just holding on another way

CHORUS

Hold on, don't let it take you down

There's a million burning in the dark

Hold on, you don't fight alone

There's a fire that's burning in your heart

We're all just holding on, holding on

Don't let the darkness win

VERSE 2

The needle's just a moment, bottle's just a friend

But the moment always leaves you, friendship ends

You tell yourself tomorrow you'll let go

But tomorrow never comes when chasing ghosts

One pill becomes a handful, one drink too much

You're running from the wreckage that you've made

People that you love watch you dissolve

While you chase something empty, unpaid

VERSE 3

But addiction whispers in the dark

Says you're broken, says you've lost your spark

It lies about tomorrow, makes you think you're all alone

When the truth is there's a million in the dark

I've been standing at the edge of hell

In and out of hospitals, in cells

I've lost the ones I love while fading

Into something that fed on my pain

CHORUS

Hold on, don't let it take you down

There's a million burning in the dark

Hold on, you don't fight alone

There's a fire that's burning in your heart

We're all just holding on, holding on

Don't let the darkness win

VERSE 4

There's a shame inside you like a stone

You've done what you swore you'd never do

That you're not worth saving, gone too deep

That there's nothing left except the dark

But a voice keeps calling from far away

Says you're worth more than this, says you can change

It takes everything to listen buried here

But that voice keeps pulling you to change

So if you're standing in the shadows now

Know there's a million fighting their own

The monster in your chest isn't bigger than your will

The battle's never over till you choose

BRIDGE

You decide you're done surrendering

You decide you're more than what you've done

Take it one hour at a time, one breath

Just this moment, just this day, just one

If you're standing on the edge right now

Know that this doesn't have to be the end

Addiction is a liar, steals your dreams

But you're stronger than the grip it holds

There are people who have walked this road

There are hands reaching through the dark

You don't have to do this by yourself

There's a million burning in the dark

FINAL CHORUS

Hold on, don't let it take you down

There's a million burning in the dark

Hold on, you don't fight alone

There's a fire that's burning in your heart

We're all just holding on, holding on

Don't let the darkness win
