🎵 Smile (Even Through the Ache) 🎵

(Verse 1) Morning breaks too early, and my bones are slow to rise, Didn’t sleep, the pain kept tracing shadows under my eyes. There’s a list of things awaiting, and the clock is ticking fast, But I’m holding to the softness of a moment meant to last. (Pre-Chorus) Coffee warming in my hands, the world still quiet, still asleep, And though the weight is heavy, there’s a promise I can keep… (Chorus) I will smile — even through the ache, I will breathe — even when I break. There’s a light that’s growing somewhere deep inside, And today I choose to find it, not to hide. I will smile — not because it’s easy, But because I’m still here, and the day can’t beat me. (Verse 2) Tasks I haven’t faced yet, calls I know I have to chase, Hours at a desk that feels like too much for this space. But I’m dreaming of my fae again, their wings and whispered lore, Plot points waiting in the twilight, songs behind a hidden door. (Pre-Chorus) Last night’s story still lingers, soft and bright around my mind, And I feel a spark returning that I thought I’d left behind… (Chorus) I will smile — even through the ache, I will breathe — even when I break. There’s a light that’s growing somewhere deep inside, And today I choose to find it, not to hide. I will smile — not because it’s easy, But because I’m still here, and the day can’t beat me. (Bridge) Sometimes choosing hope is all the magic that we need, A whispered vow to carry on, a quiet, gentle creed. And though the pain still lingers, and the world feels far too wide, I’ll take this hour for myself before I step outside. (Final Chorus) I will smile — even through the ache, I will rise — even if I shake. There’s a strength that’s waking somewhere deep inside, And today I choose to meet it, open-eyed. I will smile — not because it’s easy, But because I’m still here, and the day can’t beat me.
