From the recording HAPPY NEVER AFTER
Lyrics
No one saw it
No one needed to
You’re still here
The day didn’t end in fireworks
Just dim lights and a tired heart
Same walls same weight in my chest
Still breathing that’s a start
I didn’t fix what’s wrong with me
Didn’t tie it up or understand
I just kept my feet on the ground
When everything in me said can’t
I thought this day would bury me
But I’m standing in it anyway
There’s a quiet magic in staying alive
In surviving the hours you thought would break you inside
No miracle moment no victory sign
Just you and the proof you made it through time
There’s a quiet magic don’t rush past that
You lived through a day you never thought you’d have
The noise came back around mid afternoon
Same old thoughts same old tune
I answered them softer than before
Didn’t slam the door I stayed in the room
I’ve learned the strength isn’t being loud
It’s not collapsing when you’re allowed
It’s holding the line when no one’s near
Choosing tomorrow over fear
I didn’t win I didn’t fall
I just refused to lose it all
There’s a quiet magic in staying alive
In surviving the hours you thought would break you inside
No miracle moment no victory sign
Just you and the proof you made it through time
There’s a quiet magic don’t rush past that
You lived through a day you never thought you’d have
Maybe this is what grace looks like
Not a rescue not a rewrite
Just enough strength to reach the night
And let the morning come in time
There’s a quiet magic in how you stayed
In every breath you chose to take
Not healed not fearless not unscarred
Just still here and that’s not small
There’s a quiet magic say it back
You made it through a day you never thought you’d have
If that’s all you did today
It was enough
