The Ouch Song

Title: The Ouch Song By: Angela Christine Fuller [Verse 1] Some days I wake up with thunder in my head Fighting ghosts before I even leave the bed The mirror don’t lie, but it sure don’t help When I can’t even recognize myself [Pre-Chorus] Tired bones, heavy eyes A smile that’s mostly just disguise And if you ask me how I’m doing today I might just say— [Chorus] I’ve got ouches you can’t see In my mind, behind my teeth And it’s OK to not be brave To not fix it all, to not behave Sometimes I just need to breathe Let the world spin without me You don’t have to fight every single day It’s OK to just... be [Verse 2] Anxiety like thunder in my chest Grief that keeps me from my rest Lonely in a world that spins too fast Sipping from a cup that never seems to last [Bridge] Sometimes I need more than a “you got this” I need silence, soup, or someone to sit To not be strong, to not be wise To just exist and not apologize [Final Chorus] I’ve got ouches you can’t see Don’t need fixing—just company And it’s OK to not be tough To say “I’ve had enough” Sometimes I just need to breathe No pep talk, no remedy You don’t have to fight every single day It’s OK to just... be [Outro – whispered or soft] It’s OK To just Be
