IV

This one's for those still fightin'

I know what it's like carryin' that weight

And I'm here to say

Just 'cause it's there

Don't mean that you're done


Yeah, yeah, some people learn young what being alone means

Yeah, some hide scars from hurt nobody sees

Some are taught silence

Instead of given love

And too many grew up believin'

They'd never be enough

But them voices never tell the truth

It's just the past lying to you

Yeah, every damn word hurts pretty bad

But that damage can't break strength

You never knew you had


If you're hidin' your hurt

Behind "I'm doin' fine"

If you're fightin' those demons

In the shadows of your mind

If you're barely alive

But still tryna survive

You ain't doin' it alone

If your heart's still beatin'

Then you gotta know

You ain't gone


Yeah uh yeah

Maybe you're sittin' there thinkin'

No one could ever understand

That the weight you been carryin'

Would break any man

Yeah, I been there

Used to think that too

Hell, most days I still do

That past, it stains you deep

I'm still fightin' memories

I didn't wanna keep

Yeah, I still remember that thirst

And man I remember it well

Deprivation was its own kinda hell

I spilled my only drink

Couldn't even think

I screamed at the floor

Started pullin' hair out

'Cause I just couldn't take it anymore

Yeah, I tried drownin' those memories

But they still smile back

Funny how the worst moments

Are the ones that last

Honestly

Never thought

I'd tell anyone

Never thought

I'd show the monster I become

Then I thought

I can't be the only one


If you're barely alive

But still tryna survive

You ain't doin' it alone

If your heart's still beatin'

Then you gotta know

You ain't gone


Somewhere tonight

Someone gave in

And another soul's

Fightin' just to live

But if you're listening

Then it means you're here

So hear me now

And hear it loud

You made it through yesterday

And you'll make it through today


'Cause you ain't alone

Your heart's still beatin'

So you gotta know

You ain't gone


No

You ain't gone

You just gotta hold on
