Lyric

Hello, darker days

I know your name

You sat with me

When I felt ashamed

I wore your weight

Like borrowed skin

But I am tired

Of folding in

So I unclench

My trembling hands

I let the hurt

Fall where it lands

And in the hush

I hear it clear

I’m still right here

I’m still right here

Hello, brighter me

Come back slowly

Hello, brighter me

Hold me gently

I’m not hard to love

I’m just learning how

Hello, brighter me

I can meet you now

I washed my face

In honest tears

Let them make room

For softer years

I kept the door

A little wide

For the small bright hope

I hid inside

So I unclench

My trembling hands

I let the hurt

Fall where it lands

And in the hush

I hear it clear

I’m still right here

I’m still right here

Hello, brighter me

Come back slowly

Hello, brighter me

Hold me gently

I’m not hard to love

I’m just learning how

Hello, brighter me

I can meet you now

If I break, let me

Break like dawn

Not all at once

Just soft and warm

Take my edges

Take my fear

Leave the part of me

That feels like spring is near

Hello, brighter me

Come back slowly

Hello, brighter me

Hold me gently

I’m not hard to love

I’m just learning how

Hello, brighter me

I can meet you now

Hello, brighter me

I’m still here somehow
