🎹 VERSE 1 — (honest, simple, vulnerable) I found a note you wrote yourself, Tucked inside a library book. Said, “Try again tomorrow, kid,” But you crossed it out — You couldn’t look. And all the things you tried to fix Were never really broken, friend. You’re fighting battles in your head That no one else can see but me again. ⸻ 🌧️ PRE-CHORUS — (soft climb, truthful) And you say you’re tired of trying, But you’re still showing up — that’s something. ⸻ ⭐ CHORUS — (acoustic beauty, emotional lift) You’re halfway to beautiful, Halfway to brave. Halfway to everything You swore you couldn’t save. If the world feels too heavy, I’ll shoulder the weight — ’Cause you’re halfway to beautiful And that’s more than halfway great. ⸻ 🎹 VERSE 2 — (weary humor + heart) You always think you’re late to life, Like everyone else got there first. But no one has the map, my friend — We’re all pretending, Some are worse. And every scar you try to hide Is just a poem healing slow. If you could see the way I see, You’d finally know you glow. ⸻ 🌧️ PRE-CHORUS 2 — (gentle lift) You say you’re tired of caring, But caring’s why your heart keeps beating. ⸻ ⭐ CHORUS You’re halfway to beautiful, Halfway to brave. Halfway to everything You swore you couldn’t save. If the world feels too heavy, I’ll shoulder the weight — ’Cause you’re halfway to beautiful And that’s more than halfway great. ⸻ 💔 BRIDGE — (raw, unplugged vulnerability) If you fall apart, Fall where I can catch you. If you lose your spark, I’ll strike the match until it finds you. Your voice might shake, But that just means it’s real… ⸻ ⭐ FINAL CHORUS — (softest, most intimate) You’re halfway to beautiful, Halfway to brave. Halfway to every dream You thought you couldn’t save. If tonight feels too heavy, I’ll lighten the weight — ’Cause you’re halfway to beautiful And that’s more than halfway fate. Outro (spoken, unplugged-style): “…you’re gonna be okay.”
