Lyrics

[[Verse 1]
Old shoes at my door and a suitcase of doubts
Coffee gone cold as the morning breaks out
Sun through the window and restlessness grows
Tracing the path only memory knows

[Chorus]
I'm holding on to shivers running down my spine
Hiding from the shadows I pretend are fine
Brave on the surface but I tremble inside
Some things you just can't leave behind

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

[Verse 2]
Mirror’s reflection looking back at me
Fear in my chest I try not to see
Heart in my hands I can't set it free
Won’t let the darkness define me

[Verse 3]
Promises break when I'm alone
But I gather my courage stone by stone
Light at the edge of what I know
Learning to take it slow

[Chorus]
I'm holding on to shivers running down my spine
Hiding from the shadows I pretend are fine
Brave on the surface but I tremble inside
Some things you just can't leave behind

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

[Instrumental Break 1]

[Verse 4]
There's a fight in my soul I can’t quiet down
Dreams call my name when no one’s around
Each step I take on this broken ground
Hope keeps rising, I won’t drown

[Instrumental Break 2]

[Verse 5]
Morning arrives and my doubts fade to gray
Pieces held tight but I’ll choose to stay
Wind at my back and the scars gently fade
Finding the strength in mistakes that I’ve made

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

[Bridge]
Carried by rivers I used to fight
Letting go fear that held me too tight
Stand on the line between shadow and light
Choosing forgiveness, choosing the climb

[Outro]
So here’s to the journey and scars on my skin
Wounds that are healing, I’m learning to begin
Finally breathing where hope rushes in
Still moving forward, letting life in

Ah, ah, ah
