Lyrics
i come by it honestly
but these dark roads are haunting me
and i ain’t where i wanna be
but i come by it honestly
you know it came on unexpectedly-
then got the very best of me
it hurt in my own chest to breathe.
those nerves just kept testing me
and now it shows up so easily.
i swear it gets every piece of me
pray for a day it’ll cease to be
but it keeps showing up, so easily
so i was giving up- and i’d had enough. i’d let it win.
i was so tired of acting tough- it was time to pack it in.
and then it came in so quietly
sat right down inside of me
i stopped caring who i was trying to be
and suffering silently
it was my patience reminding me
the stark contrast- the irony…
said its gift- that i’ll find and see
some way to light this new fire in me
this new fire in me.
