Lyric

You made it to the end of the week

You barely have the energy to speak

Take off your shoes and lock the door

You do not have to pretend anymore

I am so proud of the way you fought

You gave this week everything you got

Your jaw hurts from a polite smile

Learning the rules and reading the file

Nodding your head to a brand new name

Trying to play a difficult game

Your heavy bag drops onto the floor

You do not have to act tough anymore

Your voice was shaking on the phone

But now you are safe and you are alone

Take a deep breath and let the wall break

Forget the mistakes you think you make

It is Friday night and your room is still

You climbed up a very heavy hill

Nobody is watching you right now

So let the tears fall down your cheek

You made it through the very first week

You were so brave in a brand new place

Now it is time to slow down the pace

You do not have to be strong tonight

Everything you did was completely right

Just cry it out and wash it away

You lived to see the end of the day

I am right here to say you did well

You worried about a text you sent

Wondering where your confidence went

You ate your lunch looking at the screen

Trying to figure out what they mean

Your back is stiff and your eyes are red

Too many new words inside your head

But look at you now sitting on the bed

Remember the nice things somebody said

Take a deep breath and let the wall break

Forget the mistakes you think you make

It is Friday night and your room is still

You climbed up a very heavy hill

Nobody is watching you right now

So let the tears fall down your cheek

You made it through the very first week

You were so brave in a brand new place

Now it is time to slow down the pace

You do not have to be strong tonight

Everything you did was completely right

Just cry it out and wash it away

You lived to see the end of the day

I am right here to say you did well

Every single tear is proof you tried

You have nothing left to hide

Let the water clear your tired mind

Leave the heavy pressure far behind

You spent all your energy just to fit in

And staying alive is a beautiful win

Tomorrow can wait for another time

So let the tears fall down your cheek

You made it through the very first week

You were so brave in a brand new place

Now it is time to slow down the pace

You do not have to be strong tonight

Everything you did was completely right

Just cry it out and wash it away

You lived to see the end of the day

I am right here to say you did well

Close your heavy eyes

No more compromise

You did your very best

Now you get to rest

The first five days are done

The weekend has begun

You are perfectly safe right here

Let go of the quiet fear

Goodnight to a beautiful soul
