Dinner’s cold on the counter, and the sink’s full of pride
I’m wearin’ every secret that I’m tryin’ to hide
World’s spinnin’ like a record that’s scratched and small
And I’m just a prayer away from hittin’ the wall
I don’t ask for a hand, I don’t beg for a break
I just swallow the bitter and call it a day
Yeah, some mornings I’m shattered, some nights I’m just bent
Tryin’ to buy back the soul that I already spent
But I’m holdin’ on anyway
White-knucklin’ through another day
Lord, I’m a mess, but I still pray
For a little more get-through along the way
I might stumble, I might stray
But I’m holdin’ on anyway
The screen’s glowin’ red with a world gone to hell
I’m a prisoner of hope in a five-room cell
My tank’s on E but my mind’s on fire
Walkin’ a tightrope, a high-tension wire
They tell me to breathe, but I’m chokin’ on dust
Tryin’ to find a little love in a world full of rust
Maybe tomorrow the air gets a little bit clearer
Maybe I’ll like the girl lookin’ back in the mirror
But until then I’ll rise, even when the dirt hurts
Scars on my skin, but I know what I’m worth
I’m a daughter of the chaos, a sister to the rain
I’ve learned to find a rhythm in the echo of the pain
I put on the mask and I fix up my hair
So nobody sees all the weight that I bear
I’m the rock for the broken, the light in the dark
While I’m lookin’ for a match just to find my own spark
Yeah, I’m holdin’ on anyway
Fightin’ like a ghost for a brighter day
I ain’t a saint, but I got faith
That there’s mercy waitin’ in a quiet place
I might stumble, I might stray
But I’m holdin’ on anyway
Just holdin’ on
A little battered, but I stay. Holdin’ on anyway
