Lyric

I woke up without that weight

Sitting heavy on my chest

Not completely gone away

Just lighter than it’s been

There’s a song I used to skip

Now I let it play halfway

Small things no one else would see

Feel different today

Maybe healing doesn’t shout

Maybe it whispers low

I’m almost better

Not all the way, not yet

But I laughed without pretending

For a second and I felt it

Almost better

Still learning how to breathe

But yesterday was harder

And that means something to me

Sunlight touched the kitchen floor

I opened windows one by one

There are parts of me returning

I thought were gone for good

I still have nights that ache

Still have thoughts I can’t outrun

But now they pass a little faster

Than they used to do

Maybe progress can’t be seen

Until you turn around

I’m almost better

Not perfect, not complete

But I stood up when it mattered

And that feels enough to me

Almost better

Still scars beneath my skin

But I’m softer with myself now

Than I’ve ever been

I don’t need a miracle

I don’t need to shine

Some days getting through the morning

Is a victory in disguise

I’m almost better

And maybe that is grace

Not becoming someone else

But finding my own pace

Almost better

Still healing as I go

And if I’m not there tomorrow

I’m farther than before
