Lyric

People say it is better to look ahead

Keep a smile on your face they always said

But my feet feel like they are made of stone

I am standing in the crowd but all alone

It is easy to talk about a brand new start

When you do not have a hole inside your heart

I try to move but I just slide back down

Watching all the happy faces in this town

The morning light feels like a heavy glare

I am searching for a reason to even care

My phone is ringing with advice I do not need

From people planting flowers where I have no seed

They tell me that the clouds will surely break

But they do not know how much a soul can take

I am tired of pretending I am doing fine

Just trying to make it to the finish line

The weight is real

The hurt is true

I see the gray inside the blue

But one small breath

And one more day

Is how you find a better way

Look at the person staring in the glass

Wait for the winter of your mind to pass

You do not have to fly to win the race

Just keep your feet inside this lonely space

Don't let the fire turn to cold gray ash

Hold on tight before the shadows crash

Yeah, you are doing great just being here

Forget the version that you used to be

The ghost of who the world expects to see

Your shaky hands are still a part of life

Cutting through the silence like a silver knife

There is no clock that says you must be fast

Let the heavy echoes stay within the past

Take a seat and let the water slow

You are the only person that you need to know

The road is messy and the map is torn

But this is how a deeper strength is born

Every "no" that ever brought you low

Is just a place where something new can grow

Open up the window let the cold air in

This is where the quiet wins begin

You are not a problem that needs a fix

You are the fire and the wooden sticks

The weight is real

The hurt is true

I see the gray inside the blue

But one small breath

And one more day

Is how you find a better way

Look at the person staring in the glass

Wait for the winter of your mind to pass

You do not have to fly to win the race

Just keep your feet inside this lonely space

Don't let the fire turn to cold gray ash

Hold on tight before the shadows crash

Yeah, you are doing great just being here

It is not a war

It is not a test

It is finding where your heart can rest

One inch forward

Two steps back

Keep your train upon the track

Stand up

Wake up

Look up

Look at the person staring in the glass

Wait for the winter of your mind to pass

You do not have to fly to win the race

Just keep your feet inside this lonely space

Don't let the fire turn to cold gray ash

Hold on tight before the shadows crash

Yeah, you are doing great just being here

Just for today

You did enough

Life is beautiful and life is rough

I am glad you stayed

I am glad you tried

Keep that little light alive

Right here

Just stay right here

You are enough
