You've Made It This Far

(album: See What's On The Inside - 2021)

Smile
They always tell you to smile
To appreciate the things you have
But it doesn't change what's on your mind
So you smile
But it's only on the outside
So they can't see the pain that's overwhelming
And eating you alive

When it feels like you might have had enough
Shut out the world and remind yourself

If you could hold on just for a little while
You might just find it's not too much for you to make it through
It's crazy how far you've come, all you've done
The life that you came from
Take a step back and look at who you are
You've made it this far

Breathe
Close your eyes and breathe
I know it feels like it's consuming
And you're tired of this feeling
And you try
You try so damn hard
Sometimes it feels like falling
And you're just waiting for the ground

When you lose faith in what you've been dreaming of
Stay in that moment and tell yourself

If you could hold on just for a little while
You might just find it's not too much for you to make it through
It's crazy how far you've come, all you've done
The life that you came from
Take a step back and look at who you are
You've made it this far

You're not the only one
Who feels like they're alone
Against all the odds
You've made it this far

You're not the only one
Who feels like they're alone
Against all the odds
And after all
You've made it this far

If you could hold on just for a little while
You might just find it's not too much for you to make it through
It's crazy how far you've come, all you've done
The life that you came from
Take a step back and look at who you are
You've made it this far
