Another Step

Alone I'm burning like a lantern in the dark

Closing my doors so that won't sputter out

I open up my mouth, but I'm silent

Yeah these words just won't come out

It's all too real

Will these scars heal?

I can't go back to who I was

But still I'll take that first step

My momma said,

"How could you love another if you can't love yourself?"

I guess she was right this whole damn time

I'm givin' it a try

I've been searching for an answer in the dark,

Counting the steps as I walk this road alone

My walls are torn apart, but I'll stand strong

Yeah, it's just another jump

No I won't kneel, these scars will heal

Remember the man you are and feel

That you can take another step

My momma said,

"How could you love another if you can't love yourself?"

I guess she was right this whole damn time

I'm givin' it a try

I'm givin' it a try

It's been on my mind

Night after night I'm awake

My momma said,

"How could you love another if you can't love yourself?"

I guess she was right

I'm givin' it one more try

There's nobody else

Who's gonna stand in front of me and try to cut me down

I knew you were right this whole damn time

I'm givin' it one more try
