Verse 1
Woke up with the sunlight on my face,
Thought today would be my saving grace.
I laughed out loud, forgot the pain,
Then one small memory brought the rain.
It's funny how a heart can change,
One minute close, the next feels strange.
I'm dancing while I'm breaking too,
Still searching for a piece of you.
Pre-Chorus
I smile for the world to see,
But there's a storm inside of me.
Every high comes with a fall,
I don't understand it all.
Chorus
I'm caught between the tears and the laughter,
Holding on while chasing what comes after.
Half of me is ready to move on,
Half still wishes you were not gone.
My heart keeps singing two different songs,
One says "leave," the other says "hold on."
I'm living with these mixed-up feelings every day,
Trying to find my way.
Verse 2
I found a picture from long ago,
Made me smile, then hurt me more.
I miss the dreams we used to share,
Now they're just echoes in the air.
Some days I feel so strong inside,
Other days I just can't hide.
Healing isn't straight, I know,
But I'm learning to let go.
Pre-Chorus
Hope keeps knocking at my door,
Even when I hurt once more.
Maybe every scar will prove,
That broken hearts can still improve.
Chorus
I'm caught between the tears and the laughter,
Holding on while chasing what comes after.
Half of me is ready to move on,
Half still wishes you were not gone.
My heart keeps singing two different songs,
One says "leave," the other says "hold on."
I'm living with these mixed-up feelings every day,
Trying to find my way.
Bridge
Maybe tomorrow the sky turns blue,
Maybe I'll stop looking for you.
Maybe these tears will become my strength,
And I'll finally breathe again.
Every goodbye can make room for light,
Even after the darkest night.
Final Chorus
I'm caught between the tears and the laughter,
Writing a new chapter after chapter.
I won't pretend the pain is gone,
But I know I'll keep moving on.
My heart still sings two different songs,
But every day the hope grows strong.
These mixed-up feelings won't define my name,
I'll rise through every flame.
Outro
So if you see me smiling with tears in my eyes,
Know that healing takes a thousand tries.
I'm happy, I'm hurting, I'm learning to be—
The strongest version of me.
