WORDS TO THE MUSIC

Lyrics

My chest gets tight before the morning starts Worst-case movies playing in the dark Every little sound becomes a threat I haven't even left my bed yet Fear of the unknown sits shotgun in my car Asks me who I am and if I'll get that far I spiral soft, then I spiral loud Anxiety loves a captive crowd I used to think that feeling it meant losing Like I had to fight it just to keep moving But I'm learning to cope with the shaking Learning to breathe when my thoughts start breaking I can feel what I feel and still not quit I'm scared of the dark But I'm stronger than it Stronger than it Some days I cry and call that brave Some days I just survive the wave I changed the story I tell in my head Not "I'm broken" Just "I'm not done yet" I let the fear talk, then I talk back I don't have to drown in a panic attack I'm learning to cope with the shaking Learning to breathe when my thoughts start breaking I can feel what I feel and still not quit I'm scared of the dark But I'm stronger than it Stronger than it I won't pretend it's pretty I won't pretend it's light But I can hold the fear And still choose the fight Feel it, name it, let it pass through I'm still here And that counts too I'm learning to cope with the shaking Learning to breathe when my thoughts start breaking I can feel what I feel and still not quit I'm scared of the dark But I'm stronger than it Yeah I'm scared of the dark But I'm stronger than it Stronger than it
