country ballad, acoustic southern rock, emotiona

Look in the mirror, see the miles in these eyesBeneath the heavy shadows of the Mississippi skiesI’ve been carrying a weight that nobody else can seeTrying to find the pieces of who I used to beThe storm inside my mind has been waging a warLeaving me wondering what I’m fighting for.(Chorus)But I am still standing through the ache and the tearsFighting the echoes of my deepest fearsThe hurt was a chapter, but it isn’t the endI’m learning to heal, learning to bendGrounded in the dark, reaching for the lightI’m picking up my heart, and I'm winning this fight.(Verse 2)There were nights when the quiet felt way too loudLost in the static, just a face in the crowdPeople see a smile, but they don't know the scarsThe long road of healing under fading starsI gave away my power, let the past pull me downBut I'm drawing the line, turning it around.(Chorus)'Cause I am still standing through the ache and the tearsFighting the echoes of my deepest fearsThe hurt was a chapter, but it isn’t the endI’m learning to heal, learning to bendGrounded in the dark, reaching for the lightI’m picking up my heart, and I'm winning this fight.(Bridge)It’s okay to be fragile, it’s okay to breakEvery mistake was just a step I had to takeMy mental health is a journey, a hill left to climbBut I’m giving myself grace, one day at a time.(Chorus)Yeah, I am still standing through the ache and the tearsLouder than the echoes of my deepest fearsThe hurt was a chapter, but it isn’t the endI’m checking on my soul, learning to defendGrounded in the dark, reaching for the lightI’m picking up my heart, and I'm winning this fight.(Outro)Yeah, I'm winning this fight.Breathing in the peace, letting go of the pain.Sun's coming up through the rain.I’m gonna be alright.
