Intro (spoken) Sometimes... The hardest funeral you'll ever attend... Is saying goodbye... To the version of yourself... That still lives in your head. --- Verse 1 I still remember lifting weight, Running hard, staying out late. Never thought I'd count each step, Or measure pain with every breath. Mirror says another truth, Grey replacing bits of youth. Same old fire behind these eyes, Different body... Same damn fight. --- Pre-Chorus My heart still thinks... I'm thirty-three. My spine... Has other fucking plans. --- Chorus I'm grieving yesterday's strength... Not because I gave up the fight. Because I wake every morning Still believing I just might. Some dreams changed... Some roads bent... Some things life simply took. But if you look beyond this body... You'll still find the man I was. --- Verse 2 People only see today, Not the miles that paved this way. Not the battles nobody knew, Or everything I dragged myself through. Every scar has earned its place, Every wrinkle marks a race. Every ache reminds me still... I'm alive enough to feel. --- Pre-Chorus Maybe strength... Was never muscle. Maybe strength... Was surviving. --- Chorus I'm grieving yesterday's strength... But not yesterday's soul. Life may have rewritten chapters... It never stole the whole. --- Bridge If I could shake that younger man's hand... I'd tell him... "You've got no idea what's coming. But don't be scared. One day... You'll discover... Strength isn't found In what you can lift. It's found... In what you refuse To let crush you." --- Final Chorus I'm grieving yesterday's strength... And maybe that's okay. Because today's strength Looks different. It writes songs. It loves harder. It cries sometimes. And somehow... It still gets up. --- Outro Yesterday made me strong... Today... Makes me wise.
