That Counts As A Brave Thing

[Intro] I don’t need a reason I just need a minute Just need a place Where the noise isn’t winning (...) [Verse] I wake up already tired Like my name weighs something Like breathing has a cost And I forgot what I’m funding My hands shake holding nothing My thoughts pace the room I don’t want to disappear I just want this to loosen [Hook] You don’t have to mean anything today You don’t have to shine or explain If all you do is stay in your skin That counts as a brave thing (...) [Verse] I keep asking my body What it’s afraid of now It says “too much, too fast” It says “please lie down” So I lie down with it Like I would a friend I don’t rush the ending I don’t rush the end [Hook] You don’t have to mean anything today You don’t have to earn your name If all you do is stay in your skin That counts as a brave thing (...) [Bridge] Existing isn’t failing It’s a full-time job Some days the only victory Is not disappearing at all So if you’re here Even barely Even sideways Even quiet I’m proud of the way You kept choosing this moment (...) [Hook] You don’t have to mean anything today You don’t have to promise you’ll change If all you do is stay in your skin That counts as a brave thing [Outro] I’m still here with you Not asking for more We can sit in the mess By the floor No fixing No future No plan Just breathe Just hand Just breathe
