Hope Hurts in the Morning

Woke up on the floor again

Phone lit up with bills and blame

Coffee tastes like burnt regret

Sink is full

My eyes are wet

Pulled my jacket off the chair

Stale smoke and last year’s fear

Missed the bus

My laces frayed

Still I’m breathing

Barely

Hey

Life hits hard

Keeps swinging

But I’m still here

Still singing

Yeah

The sky looks rough and torn

But I swear it breaks by morning

I’m not okay

Not yet

Still I’m not done

Not finished

If this hurt is all I own

I’ll drag it through tonight

Till tomorrow feels like home

Boss says I’m replaceable

Name tag spelled unfixable

Lunch break in the parking lot

Cold fries

Going cold in thought

Texted friends

They left on read

Lonely scrolling

Doom instead

See my face in the cracked glass

Halfway broken

Halfway passed

Life hits hard

Keeps swinging

But I’m still here

Still singing

Yeah

The sky looks rough and torn

But I swear it breaks by morning

I’m not okay

Not yet

Still I’m not done

Not finished

If this hurt is all I own

I’ll drag it through tonight

Till tomorrow feels like home

Maybe hope’s just holding on

One more stop

One more sad song (Oh oh)

Breathing in

Don’t disappear

If I’m still here

I’m still this year

Life hits hard

Keeps swinging

But I’m still here

Still singing

Yeah

The sky looks rough and torn

But I swear it breaks by morning

I’m not okay

Not yet

Still I’m not done

Not finished

If this hurt is all I own

I’ll drag it through tonight

Till tomorrow feels like home
