[Verse 1] You left the kettle cold again Your coat still on the chair The mirror caught your tired eyes You stopped and met them there You put both feet against the tile And named what hurt today No grand design, no perfect fix Just one breath you could stay [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to earn your rest You don't have to win the day Let the small truth in your chest Be enough to lead the way [Chorus] Start where you are, with both hands open Mend what you can, let the rest be spoken You are not the sum of what went wrong You can grow a life that feels like home Piece by piece, you find your own direction Every honest choice becomes connection When you turn and meet yourself with care A little room appears, and you are there [Verse 2] You called your sister from the stairs And told her what you hide She let the silence have its space Then stayed there on your side You wrote one promise on a receipt And tucked it in your shoe Drink some water, take the walk Come back and start anew [Pre-Chorus] You don't have to know the end You don't have to make it neat Let the person you can be Meet the person on your feet [Chorus] Start where you are, with both hands open Mend what you can, let the rest be spoken You are not the sum of what went wrong You can grow a life that feels like home Piece by piece, you find your own direction Every honest choice becomes connection When you turn and meet yourself with care A little room appears, and you are there [Bridge] The old hurt has a voice, not the final word The fear can ride beside you, not decide the road You can change your mind, you can draw the line You can take your time and still arrive [Final Chorus] Start where you are, with both hands open Mend what you can, let the hard truth be spoken You are not the sum of what went wrong You have grown a life that feels like home Piece by piece, you choose your own direction Every honest choice becomes connection When you turn and meet yourself with care You find the room was always there [Outro] The kettle starts, the morning comes You meet your eyes, and stay
