Lyrics

You've been tired so long it feels like your name Carrying days that don't even look the same Smiling on cue so nobody can tell How close you've been to ringing that bell You've been strong in rooms where nobody clapped Held your life together with a prayer and a crack Lost things you don't even talk about now Learned how to swallow pain and still stand proud They don't see the nights you talked yourself through Or the mornings you got up with nothing to prove If quitting was easy you'd already be gone But you're still right here so something's still strong I know you're tired But tired ain't done You didn't come this far to fold Didn't fight this hard to let go Didn't carry all that weight alone Just to lay it down when the road gets cold You're still here that means something Even broken hearts keep on pumping If you're breathing you ain't been told You didn't come this far to fold You've been counted out more times than you can count By people who never knew what you're about They saw the scars not the miles you walked Heard your silence but never your thoughts You learned how to bend without breaking in two How to keep your word when nobody knew How to show up empty and still give grace How to lose your footing and keep your place You've buried dreams just to survive the day Made peace with prayers that didn't go your way If strength had a sound it'd sound like you Quiet steady and still pushing through You're allowed to be tired You're not allowed to quit on yourself You didn't come this far to fold Didn't bleed this truth into your bones Didn't hold the line all on your own Just to drop it now when hope feels old You're still here that means something Even lost souls keep on running If you're breathing you ain't been told You didn't come this far to fold Listen If today is all you can survive That's enough If all you did was stay That counts You don't need a comeback speech You just need tomorrow You didn't come this far to fold Didn't survive hell to call it home Didn't make it through what broke your soul Just to let the ending write you cold You're still here that means something Every heartbeat's still becoming If you're breathing you ain't been told You didn't come this far to fold Not today Maybe not perfect But you're still here J.D.
