She wakes up tired Takes the long way in Keeps her face still When the hurt kicks in A cracked-up smile And a shaky hand She says, "I'm fine" But you won't understand [Pre-Chorus] She looks away When the room gets loud Bites down hard Won't break right now One more step Through the heavy rain She names her fear Then she breathes again [Chorus] Hold back tears Hold back tears She's still here She's still here Fighting through Fighting through For a better life For a better life Hold back tears Hold back tears She's not done She's not done [Verse 2] At the sink, she stares At the girl she knew Hair half-done And her eyes go blue She hides the crash In a folded sleeve But late at night The whole house can grieve [Pre-Chorus] She looks away When the room gets loud Bites down hard Won't break right now One more step Through the heavy rain She names her fear Then she breathes again [Chorus] Hold back tears Hold back tears She's still here She's still here Fighting through Fighting through For a better life For a better life Hold back tears Hold back tears She's not done She's not done [Bridge] If the dark comes close Let it knock, let it shake She learned how to rise Even with a break And if she falls She'll get back up slow There is a light That she already knows [Final Chorus] Hold back tears Hold back tears She's still here She's still here Fighting through Fighting through For a better life For a better life Hold back tears Hold back tears She's not done She's not done
