Lyric

You’re staring through your own reflection

In the dark glass, eyes half closed

Bag on your lap, phone in your hand

Too tired to even scroll

Your jacket smells like the office

Ink on your thumb, numbers in your head

Everyone took and they kept on taking

You gave them your best instead

The carriage hums in a low hush

Strangers sway, half-asleep

You lean your head on the window

Let the day slide down the seat

You think, “Is this all I’m good for?”

Just a name on some long report

But I see the way your heart still shows

In every corner you support

Rest those hands, you’ve done enough

Let this last train carry you

You don’t have to prove your worth

To a world that never knew

Close your eyes, I’ll hold the weight

Of the words you couldn’t say

You’re allowed to fall apart

And still be shining anyway

Breathe out slow, release the day

Let the rails erase the rush

Every little unseen effort

Still deserves a tender hush

You are more than what they praise

More than what they overlook

Lay your head inside this moment

I’ll be your quiet, open book

If tomorrow feels too heavy

Skip a step, take one, not two

Promise me, when work starts shouting

You’ll remember this is true:

You are not your tired shoulders

Not the circles under eyes

You’re the courage that keeps going

Even when the joy feels shy
