Lyrics

Oh, oh, ooh
I remember staring at the ceiling fan
Counting spins like they meant something
Phone face-down on the nightstand
Scared of news, scared of nothing happening
Bills on the counter, keys in my hand
Didn't know where I was supposed to land
Every promise felt late or gone
Like I'd been holding my breath too long
I told myself, "Just one more day"
But days don't care what you need them to say
Hope can hurt when it takes its time
Sits in your chest like a question mark
Every "maybe," every "not yet"
I let Chris leaves a bruise where belief should start
I've felt the weight of waiting on nothing
Felt my heart learn how to bend
Hope can hurt when it's held too long
Yeah, it can make you sick from the inside in
There was a year I barely remember
Just fog and clocks and showing up
Smiling when I didn't feel okay
Calling survival "being tough"
I watched people pass me by
Heard them say, "You'll be fine"
But fine felt far, and I was tired
Of pretending I wasn't empty inside
I stopped asking when it would change
Just started asking how to stay
Hope can hurt when it takes its time
Drags your heart through another season
Every closed door, every silent night
Starts to feel personal for no good reason
I've known the ache of almost believing
Of getting close, then losing ground
Hope can hurt when it's held too long
Like a hunger you can't drown out
Then one morning, nothing was fixed
But something felt different in my chest
The light came in through the same old window
But it didn't feel like a test
A small win, a hand held tight
A laugh that didn't feel forced this time
It wasn't loud, it didn't shout
It just stayed, it just stayed
Hope feels different when it finally lands
Like something alive taking root
All the waiting didn't disappear
It just made space for something true
I don't forget the nights it hurt
Or how close I came to giving in
But a heart that's been starving knows the taste
When hope starts growing again
I don't rush it now, I let it grow
I've learned what waiting can do
Because when hope shows up and finally stays
It doesn't just heal you
It changes you
