Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
I was breakin’ in silence
Smilin’ while I fell apart
Fightin’ battles every night
Tryna keep a steady heart
Couldn’t see the light ahead
Couldn’t breathe through all the weight
Some nights I was one bad thought
From just givin’ up completely
And that’s when y’all showed up
No judgment, no conditions
Picked me up off rock bottom
When I lost all direction
[PRE-HOOK]
Y’all reminded me
The world ain’t all cold
There’s still real souls left
Still hearts made of gold
[HOOK]
To the ones that stayed
When I was hard to love
The ones that held me up
When I wasn’t strong enough
When I was drownin’
Y’all jumped in too
And I swear to God
That saved me more than you knew
Everybody talks about pain
But y’all actually cared
You proved humanity still exists
Cause real ones are rare
[VERSE 2]
Thank you for listenin’
When the whole world went deaf
When everybody heard my pain
But nobody truly listened yet
When nobody saw me for me
Just the damage and the scars
Y’all looked past the broken pieces
And loved my heart for what it was
When I felt invisible
Like I didn’t belong anywhere
Y’all sat beside my darkness
And reminded me somebody cared
Y’all checked on me
When everybody else disappeared
Sat with me through ugly cries
And trauma-filled years
Never made me feel crazy
For hurtin’ the way I did
Never used my weakness against me
Like so many others did
[BRIDGE]
This world gets dark
Mean people get loud
But angels still walk among us
And I found mine in the crowd
One small moment
Can keep somebody alive
And y’all gave me reasons
To keep tryin’ to survive
[FINAL HOOK]
To the ones that stayed
When I was hard to love
The ones that held me up
When I wasn’t strong enough
When my soul felt tired
And my whole world hurt
Y’all reminded me
Not everybody on Earth is cruel
Yeah…
Humanity still exists
And I found it in you
