Verse 1 You've been carrying the weight of everyone's expectations Smiling through the cracks, calling it dedication But your hands are empty now, there's nothing left to pour You keep reaching for the strength that isn't there anymore Pre-chorus And maybe that's okay Maybe that's the start Chorus You don't have to fake it You don't have to hold it all together Just be real about the weather Inside your heart right now Say it out loud, say it out loud This is where I am This is where I am Verse 2 You keep waiting for the storm to pass on its own Hoping things will shift while you sit here alone But the same road keeps leading to the same old place If nothing changes here, nothing changes there Pre-chorus And maybe that's the truth Maybe that's the key Chorus You don't have to fake it You don't have to hold it all together Just be real about the weather Inside your heart right now Say it out loud, say it out loud This is where I am This is where I am Verse 3 So you sit in it, you finally let it land No fixing, no rushing, just open hands And in the stillness something starts to shift Not loud, not big... just a quiet little lift Bridge There's a version of you that's tired of pretending A version of you that's ready for a different ending Not the one who fixes, not the one who's strong Just the one who's honest... that's where the power's gone Pre-final chorus And from here... from right here... Something becomes clear Final chorus I have a choice It's up to me to choose Not to fake it Not to hold it all together Just to feel the weather And know I get to move whether I win or even if I lose I have a choice It's up to me to choose
