Some days everything in me feels broken, and every day feels like a struggle from the second I open my eyes.
But I still rise. Nobody sees the nights I almost broke — the tears on the pillow, the smiling in public while I'm barely coping, the weight I carry that I didn't deserve. "I Did It Again" is about finding the nerve to get up one more time anyway.
From the lyric sheet
Woke up tired, but I still rose
Tears on my pillow nobody knows
Every time I breathe, it feel like war
But I been here before… yeah
They don't see the nights I almost broke
Smiling in public, barely cope
Carrying weight I don't deserve
Still I got the nerve… to rise.
✎ A note to journal on
What did it cost you to get up today? Name one thing that's harder than it looks from the outside.
Have a story that needs a song?
Some stories are too deep for ordinary words. I help turn personal stories, testimonies, love stories, grief journeys, family memories, and life experiences into custom songs.
