“One Day” Every time I build it up, it falls before the sunrise. Every door I open somehow closes in my eyes. I’m tired of saying, “Soon,” like I believe it too, When every promise that I made still feels overdue. She still looks at me like I’m already enough, Even on the nights when I know I’m falling off. All she ever wanted was my peace, not my pride, But I just wanna give her everything she dreams inside. If love could pay the bills, we’d never lose sleep. If hope was all it took, we’d already be free. So I smile when they’re watching, Break when I’m alone. Carry all this pressure, Like it’s all I’ve ever known. ‘Cause everybody leans on me, But who do I lean on? I keep the light alive When mine’s been gone for so long. They only see the fight in me, Never all the fear. I’m the voice that tells them, “We’ll make it,” year after year. And I’d trade every win I never had Just to see her never worry again. If I could turn this pain into a future, I’d do it all over again. [Drop] My friends call when they’re lost, They think I know the way. So I hide another battle Just to help them through the day. They say I’m built for pressure, Like it doesn’t leave a scar. Nobody ever asks How heavy all these hopes are. Some nights I stare at ceilings, Wonder where I went wrong. How can I keep leading When I don’t feel that strong? Maybe one day all these almosts Turn into memories. Maybe every broken chapter Writes the life she sees in me. [Break] Until then I’ll keep running, Even when my legs give out. Not because I never doubt… Because I won’t let love down. If tomorrow finally calls my name, Tell her every sleepless night was worth the wait. Everything I carried wasn’t just for me… It was for the people who believed. [Drop]
