Brighter Than Before (Gentle Piano)

[Verse 1] Some days I can’t get up Phone face down Blinds pulled shut Heart feels heavy as a locked front door Breathing in I count to four I’ve been learning how to stay When my thoughts all drift away Write them out across the kitchen floor Little notes that say “you’re worth more” [Chorus] I’ve been through the dark I’ve felt that war But every tiny step is something to adore I’m still here Still waking up for one day more I’m scared sometimes But I won’t ignore The quiet voice that says “we’re healing at the core” I’m still here And that’s brighter than before [Verse 2] I text a friend “you free tonight?” We trade bad jokes We share our fights Laughed so hard we forgot the score Of every time we’d hit the floor I’m learning how to love this pace Not a finish line Just space For shaky hands and an open door For starting over at “I’m not sure” [Chorus] I’ve been through the dark I’ve felt that war But every tiny step is something to adore I’m still here Still waking up for one day more I’m scared sometimes But I won’t ignore The quiet voice that says “we’re healing at the core” I’m still here And that’s brighter than before [Bridge] So if your heart is on the ground (hey) And you don’t wanna make a sound Let my voice be proof you’re not alone You’re not alone We don’t have to have it right Just a spark inside the night You and me We’re finding our own road One breath One hope [Chorus] We’ve been through the dark We’ve felt that war But every tiny step is something to adore We’re still here Still waking up for one day more We’re scared sometimes But we won’t ignore The quiet voice that says “we’re healing at the core” We’re still here And that’s brighter than before
