Verse 1 I came in worn down like an old front door Hinges screaming, trying not to hit the floor Smiled like I was fine, like I always do But you hear the truth in the quiet too I was braced for judgment, braced for shame Braced to be the villain in my own head But you just listened, steady and slow Like you weren’t scared of what I couldn’t show Pre-Chorus And you didn’t try to fix me fast You just stayed when I started to crash Chorus So thank you for holding the hardest hurt For letting it breathe, for doing the work For seeing the parts I tried to hide And not looking away when I cried You handed me back what I couldn’t find A kinder version of my own mind You helped me to see me…for who I am You gave me strength to stand again Verse 2 I called myself broken like it was law Like my pain was proof of some fatal flaw But you spoke to me like I was still whole Even when I didn’t feel in control You found the kid in the rubble and dust Taught her it’s safe to learn how to trust And piece by piece, I starting to change Not into perfect… into someone brave Pre-Chorus 2 You gave my thoughts somewhere to land You taught my chest how to unclench again Chorus So thank you for holding the hardest hurt For letting it breathe, for doing the work For seeing the parts I tried to hide And not looking away when I cried You handed me back what I couldn’t find A kinder version of my own mind You helped me to see me…for who I am You gave me strength to stand again Bridge (spoken-sung, intimate) You didn’t erase my scars You just showed me they weren’t ugly They were evidence That I survived…so much And I’m allowed to live this life! Final Chorus (bigger, soaring) So thank you for holding the hardest hurt For letting it breathe, for doing the work For seeing the parts I tried to hide And not looking away when I cried You handed me back what I couldn’t find A kinder version of my own mind You helped me to see me…for who I am You gave me strength to stand again So thank you for holding the hardest hurt For staying consistent, for doing the work For calling me out with mercy and truth For helping me fight for my own proof That I’m not my worst day, not my old pain Not the cruel little voice in my brain You helped me see me… how I am And now I finally… understand...Your the Reason I can stand.....
