I wake up tired of waking up
Another day I never asked for
I wear the smile they recognize
Then fall apart behind the door
I leave the messages unread
I don't know what I'm meant to say
Everybody tells me I'll be fine
But I feel less alive each day
I don't wanna die
I just don't wanna live like this
Every breath feels borrowed
Every hope feels like a risk
I'm not okay
I'm barely here
I'm losing pieces of myself
With every year
But underneath
All this regret
Something in me
Hasn't given up yet
Not a miracle
Not a light
Just one small heartbeat
Still fighting tonight
I'm not saved
I'm not healed
I'm just
Not gone yet
I stopped believing things could change
Somewhere between then and now
I learned to laugh at all the right times
I learned to never ask them how
The room gets quiet after midnight
That's when the truth comes back again
That every version of tomorrow
Feels like today with different names
I know they mean it
When they say they care
But love can feel so far away
When you can't feel yourself in there
I'm not okay
I'm barely here
The person in the mirror
Keeps disappearing year by year
And every dream
I haven't met
Feels like another thing
I'm learning to forget
No silver lining
No sunrise yet
Just one small heartbeat
I haven't silenced yet
I'm not saved
I'm not healed
I'm just
Not gone yet
Maybe this is all I am
A room that never sees the sun
Maybe hope is just a word
For people who still have some
Maybe I will never know
What everybody else can feel
Maybe getting through the night
Is the only thing that's real
I don't know why
I still stay
I don't know why
I wake
But something keeps
Pulling air
Into my lungs
I'm not okay
And that's still true
I haven't found a reason
That could make me feel brand new
I still get lost
Inside my head
I still lie awake
And wish that I could disappear instead
But underneath
All this regret
Something in me
Hasn't given up yet
Not a promise
Not a sign
Not some beautiful answer
Showing up in time
Just this heartbeat
Weak and small
Still refusing
To stop at all
I'm not saved
I'm not healed
I'm not suddenly
Learning how to feel
But tonight
I made it through
And maybe that's
The only hope
I need to hold onto
Not gone yet
Not gone yet
No, I'm not better
I'm just
Not gone yet
