Rise

Shattered glass on the bathroom floor Didn’ t even recognize my face no more Said I’ d be somebody guess I broke that too Three missed calls and I slept till two Empty cans by the unmade bed Replaying every single word you said Told you I’ d quit told you I’ d change Now I’ m just a ghost in my own damn frame Fingers shaking lighting up again Type a text then delete then pretend That I ain’ t sinking in a hole so deep Swore I’ d stay awake but I fell asleep On every promise every plan we drew Now I’ m looking at the ceiling asking who Could love a wreck could love a mess Could hold me close when I’ m at my less Yeah I crashed hard hit the lowest low Empty bottles where my pride should go But you stayed when the walls caved in Found a light where the dark had been Now I got a reason to fight Got a reason to rise Got a fire burning bright inside You stayed when the walls caved in Found a light where the dark had been Now I know where I’ m heading to And every step I’ m taking it’ s for you Remember telling you I’ d make it big Now I’ m broke and drowning in the gig You never flinched never turned away Said baby I believe in brighter days I used to laugh like that didn’ t matter Now I hear my own dreams shatter But you grabbed my hand pulled me through the blur Said you see a fighter baby not a quitter Slow mornings coffee going cold You sat with me stories left untold Till I cracked open let the demons spill Cried so hard thought the room would fill But you didn’ t run you didn’ t blink Helped me wash my face in the kitchen sink Now I got a target got a clear road sign Building something solid brick by brick this time No more mirrors that I’ m scared to meet Got my heartbeat syncing with the street But you stayed when the walls caved in Found a light where the dark had been Now I got a reason to fight Got a reason to rise Got a fire burning bright inside You stayed when the walls caved in Found a light where the dark had been Now I know where I’ m heading to And every step I’ m taking it’ s for you
