[VERSE 1 – Sadly] I’ve been dragging thoughts I never wanted to feel, Things I locked away that still cut like they’re real. I try to outrun the memories that chase, But they find me in the silence and stare me in the face. Some truths hit harder when the night gets cold, And I’m forced to face stories I never told. I’m scared of the things that rise when I’m weak, The shadows that speak when I don’t want to speak. I keep breaking open in the quiet of my mind, Lost in corners I hoped I’d never find. It’s hard to breathe when the past won’t break, When every step forward still aches. [PRE‑CHORUS] I’m trying to hold on but the weight keeps growing, Trying to move on but the cracks keep showing. I’m stuck between the past and the choices I make, And it’s hard to think straight through the heartache. [CHORUS] It’s hard to face the things I’m not ready to see, Hard to let go of what still lives in me. I’m trying to breathe through the hurt I take, But it’s hard… It’s hard through the heartache. [VERSE 2 – Sadly] I’ve been walking through days that feel darker than night, Carrying questions that don’t feel right. I push them down deep but they claw their way through, Reminding me of everything I never wanted to review. I want to forget, but the past won’t fade, It sits in my chest like a debt unpaid. I’m learning that healing isn’t gentle or kind, It drags out the pieces you tried to leave behind. I’m trying to grow but the truth won’t bend, And I’m scared of the thoughts I can’t defend. [BRIDGE] Maybe someday I’ll face what I fear, Maybe someday the truth won’t feel severe. But right now I’m fragile with every step I take, Trying to breathe… Trying to live through the heartache. [FINAL CHORUS] It’s hard to face the things I’m not ready to see, Hard to let go of what still lives in me. I’m trying to breathe through the hurt I take, But it’s hard… It’s hard through the heartache.
