Healing in My Own Time

Lyrics:

Some days I wake up already tired

Before my feet even touch the floor

I put on a smile like I always do

So no one asks me anymore

I say I'm fine when I'm barely holding

All of the weight inside my mind

I'm learning I don't have to have it together

I'm healing in my own time

Maybe I don't need all the answers

Maybe I don't have to be okay

Maybe getting through this moment

Is enough for me today

I'm healing in my own time

One breath, one day, one step at a time

I don't have to hide every tear that I cry

I don't have to pretend that I'm always alright

I'm healing in my own time

Learning to be a little more kind

To the person in the mirror who's trying to survive

I'm still here

I'm still trying

I'm healing in my own time

There are nights when my thoughts get heavy

And I feel like I'm losing my way

But I'm learning that a bad night

Doesn't mean I'll always feel this way

I can rest without feeling guilty

I can ask for a helping hand

I don't have to fight every battle alone

I'm doing the best that I can

I may not be where I want to be yet

But look how far I've come

Every time I chose to keep going

I became a little stronger than I was

I'm healing in my own time

One breath, one day, one step at a time

I don't have to hide every tear that I cry

I don't have to pretend that I'm always alright

I'm healing in my own time

Learning to be a little more kind

To the person in the mirror who's trying to survive

I'm still here

I'm still trying

I'm healing in my own time

So if today all I did was breathe

If today I barely made it through

That doesn't make me weak

That doesn't mean I failed

Sometimes surviving is healing too

I won't rush my heart

I won't punish my mind

There's no finish line

For becoming alright

I'm healing in my own time

Through every low, through every high

And maybe I'm stronger than I realized

For all of the days that I stayed and I tried

I'm healing in my own time

And I don't need to leave my past behind

I can carry what I've learned

Without carrying all the pain

I'm still here

I'm still growing

I'm finding myself again

One breath

One day

One step at a time

I don't have to be okay tonight

I'm still here

And that's enough

I'm healing in my own time
