Little Victories (Indie-Pop Ballad)

[Verse 1] Woke up heavy Same ceiling Same old war Coffee going cold Shoes still on the floor Scrolling through the headlines Heart already sore Told myself "Just shower That’s one thing Nothing more" [Chorus] Little victories They don’t make the news Brushing all the tangles out Lacing up my shoes I’m not “fixed ” I’m just still here Breathing through the fear Counting every quiet win Like prayers only I can hear [Verse 2] Skipped that party Sent an honest "I can’t come" Therapist at 3 I almost didn’t run Told a friend I’m struggling Didn’t play it tough Turns out they’d been waiting For someone to call this stuff [Chorus] Little victories They don’t make the news Answering a message back Telling someone truth I’m not “cured ” I’m just upright In flickering light Holding all these tiny wins Like stars in a cloudy night [Bridge] Some days I can’t climb mountains Some days I can’t leave bed (mm) But I can drink some water Text "I’m still in my head" If that’s all I manage I won’t call it defeat (hey) I’ll just mark a tally For the heart that chose to beat [Chorus] Little victories They don’t look like much Breathing through a memory Taking time for touch I’m not strong in some grand way I just stay I stay Stacking up these quiet wins Till they light a softer day
