Tangled Headphones on the Nightstand (Ballad Gentle)

[Verse 1] I leave my texts on read Because answering feels like homework Half a cup of cold coffee Judging me from the desk The plants in the window Droop like they’re mirroring my chest I keep promising the mirror I’ll get dressed [Chorus] I’m not broken I’m just bent out of my shape again Trying to breathe inside a sweater two sizes too thin If today is just a hallway I’ll crawl to the next door I don’t need to be a hero I just need to make it to the floor [Verse 2] My therapist says “name the feeling” I say “it keeps changing its name” Some days it’s a thundercloud Some days it’s plain old shame I write lists on yellow paper Things I’ll do when I feel brave Then fold them into tiny boats And watch them drift away [Bridge] If you’re lying in the dark Counting cracks above your bed Thinking everyone’s a lighthouse And you’re just a cigarette end There is kindness in your breathing Even when it comes out rough You’re a body Not a burden You are here And that’s enough
