Paper Crown (Steady Mid-Tempo)

[Verse 1] I woke up late again Staring at the sink Half my brave is missing Half of me can’t think The dishes in the basin Look like little wars I’m trying to be gentle I’m just tired to the core [Pre-Chorus] But I’m still here Still on my feet Still learning how to breathe One shaky beat [Chorus] I don’t have to be okay I just have to stay I can hold this heavy day And let it pass away I don’t have to be okay I can find my way One small step, one honest prayer I’m still here, I made it there (Still here) (Still here) [Verse 2] The mirror tells a story I don’t want to hear Eyes like empty pocket Hands like they don’t care But then my sister texted “Did you eat today?” A tiny kind reminder Pulled the dark away [Pre-Chorus] So I’m still here Still on my feet Still learning how to breathe One shaky beat [Chorus] I don’t have to be okay I just have to stay I can hold this heavy day And let it pass away I don’t have to be okay I can find my way One small step, one honest prayer I’m still here, I made it there (Still here) (Still here) [Bridge] If I shake, let me shake If I cry, let me cry I am not a broken thing I am learning how to try And when my mind gets loud I won’t call it fate It’s a storm, not a sentence It can change, it can break [Final Chorus] I don’t have to be okay I just have to stay I can hold this heavy day And let it pass away I don’t have to be okay I can find my way One small step, one honest prayer I’m still here, I made it there (Still here) (Still here) (I made it there)
