Lyrics

La-la-la, taking a deep breath inside
One more step today with nothing to hide
I chose this path, and it belongs to me alone
But it turned out harder than the seeds I've sown
Seeing everyone else shining so intensely bright
Makes the smallness that I feel begin to shake tonight
Across the glow of an electronic screen
Somebody's effort looks so radiant and clean
Whispering softly, "I am trying hard too..."
Makes a little pinch inside my heart break through
Even if my days don't neatly align
With the dreamed-of future that used to be mine
And the words you left when you let me go
Feel a little heavy today, weighing down so slow
Good job today, me, for holding on so tight
Even with a heart that almost broke tonight
I kept right on walking through the gray and blue
There's a reason I didn't give up what I pursued
I know I can go just a little bit further ahead
Even if I stop, I can restart instead
It's me who chose this road where I now stand
And that's enough to make me proud across the land
"I'd feel so much better if I just quit..."
That thought crossed my mind in the dark, bit by bit
But the dream I refuse to lose or let decay
Still shines softly deep inside my chest today
Clumsy and awkward, but I made it this far
Weak and shaking, but I reached for my star
Even if I hide behind someone else's shade
The effort that I made will never fade
Even when the days are falling all apart
I will grab whatever I can catch with my heart
If I can breathe a little easier than yesterday
That is more than enough to light my way
Good job today, me, through the tears and strain
Even on the days when smiling was in vain
That single step I didn't abandon or forget
Is the proof I'm moving forward, overcoming regret
I know I can go just a little bit further ahead
Trembling a bit, but looking forward instead
The person who chose this winding road so free
Deserves to trust herself, to believe in me
It's okay to take the longest road around
There is something to learn every time I lose my ground
I am still right in the middle of my story's page
Nobody else decides the ending on this stage
This story is mine to choose, age by age
Good job today, me, for keeping all inside
Keeping every tear and smile close as my guide
If I can take a step again when morning comes anew
That's more than enough for me to make it through
I know I can go just a little bit further still
Carrying my weakness with a quiet will
I don't mind being who I am right here tonight
La-la-la, I am proud of myself in the fading light
