Lyrics

I'm tired of pretending I'm built for the burn
Like I don't feel every bridge, every lesson I earned
Everybody keeps sayin' damn girl, you're strong
Like strength was a choice when survival dragged on
I keep pushin' uphill with my teeth clenched tight
Smilin' in daylight, breakin' apart every night
I don't want heaven, I don't want goodbye
I just want one damn minute where I don't gotta fight
How do you make the noise stop
How do you set this weight down
How do you breathe when your soul feels
Buried alive underground
I want off this rock for a little while
I want silence stretchin' out for miles
I want sleep that heals instead of haunts
A heart that's held instead of fought
I want a man who wakes up every day
Still choosing love in a steady way
Not almost
Not halfway
Not when things calm down someday
I want peace that doesn't disappear
The kind that finally reaches here
And maybe that ain't too much to ask
For a woman runnin' on empty gas
I'm so damn tired of carrying hope
Like a suitcase packed with cracked-up ghosts
Always the strong one, always the guide
While nobody notices I'm dying inside
And I know there's women singing this too
Driving home crying with mascara tattoos
Still makin' dinners, still paying bills
Still showing up when they're mentally killed
How do you quiet the chaos
How do you soften the ache
How do you stop feeling guilty
For needing a goddamn break
I want off this rock for a little while
I want soft hands, not another trial
I want mornings where my chest don't ache
And love that stays instead of shakes
I want a man who sees right through
The woman surviving underneath I'm good
Who don't just love me when I'm strong
But stays when I've got nothing going on
I want rest that reaches my bones
Not feeling lonely beside someone close
And maybe that ain't weak to say
Maybe I'm just tired of living this way
I don't need saving
I need steady
I need safe enough to finally exhale
I need somebody who loves like a shelter
Not another storm to survive through hell
And maybe one day I wake up different
Sunlight pouring through curtains wide
No survival mode
No clenched-up heart
Just peace…
And somebody standing beside me this time
I want off this rock for a little while
Long enough to remember my smile
Long enough to feel my nervous system slow
Long enough to stop carrying it all alone
I want love that feels like home at night
Not confusion dressed up as butterflies
And I swear to God I still believe
There's something better waiting for me
Even if tonight
I'm bone damn tired
I'm still here
Still walking through the fire
