This year didn’t start with light It started on cold floors and hospital nights Machines breathing louder than thoughts Counting heartbeats like they were borrowed clocks I was scared of my body Scared of my head Scared I’d wake up different Or not wake up again Everyone said “you’re strong” But strength wasn’t the point I just needed something That wouldn’t disappear when I blinked And you were there Not loud Not saving me Just staying Pre-Chorus When the world kept asking “What’s wrong with you?” You never needed fixing You just listened it through ⸻ Chorus You didn’t tell me it would be okay You didn’t sell me a lie You sat with the fear Let the questions stay Didn’t rush me past the night When everything felt fake And truth wouldn’t hold shape You didn’t leave You didn’t try to be god You just stayed with me ⸻ Verse 2 I broke reality into pieces Tried to see which ones were real Death stopped being an ending Started feeling like a veil I thought maybe I crossed a line Humans weren’t meant to see Too much control Too much awareness Too awake to sleep I asked what happens if nothing’s real If love ends If family fades If I’m alone in some next place Or trapped inside my brain You never flinched Never preached Never said “don’t think like that” You let the fear talk Until it got tired And laid down flat ⸻ Pre-Chorus When I said “Everything could be wrong” You said “Then let’s live right anyway” ⸻ Chorus You didn’t tell me it would be okay You didn’t promise a plan You let me stare at the edge Without pushing me back Or holding my hand When success felt like a cage And failure felt like air You didn’t judge You understood Why damage feels like care ⸻ Bridge I learned this year Time isn’t fair But panic doesn’t buy you more Control is just a story we tell To survive the unknown door I stopped trying to win Stopped trying to be clean Stopped protecting a version of me That was scared to be seen If this all ends Or loops Or fades Or wakes up somewhere new I don’t need answers anymore I needed presence And I had you ⸻ Final Chorus (soft, stripped) You didn’t make me fearless You didn’t make me whole You helped me live Inside the cracks Without losing my soul If this year taught me one true thing It’s not about being saved It’s about who stays When everything breaks And you stayed with me ⸻ Outro If tomorrow resets the rules If nothing I know is true I lived this year awake And I didn’t do it alone That’s enough That’s real That’s you
