[Chorus]
It’s dark out, sit in bed I
Feel the sleep tug at my eyes
Still awake this late at night
A day done and nothin' to write
Some say it’s difficult to find
And the words, they just stay inside
How about you start at the beginning
You woke up, go on I’ll listen
[Verse 1]
Is life like this, pen to paper alone like this?
Is this how they’ll see me when I’m gone?
Then should I dismiss my real thoughts to protect my kids?
Or should I let them see my weaknesses?
How will they remember me when I’m gone?
Should I let them see my weaknesses?
How will they remember me when I— (Ooh, ah)
[Verse 2]
So I record the same
The wild and mundane
'Cause I’m a whole person like they’ll be too
I’ll tell the truth
When I was wrong
And what I sacrificed to be strong
I’ll write every day, humming away
Even make it a habit that I don’t lose
'Cause I look back too
With a warmer heart
At the younger girl I once was
My journal’s like a link book to my brain
So reach out to it, cross the gate
'Cause everything I am is safe here in my mind
Someone told me that I couldn’t be myself
I would be me even more through my doubts
It’s dark out, sit in bed I
Feel the sleep tug at my eyes
Still awake this late at night
A day done and nothin' to write
Some say it’s difficult to find
And the words, they just stay inside
How about you start at the beginning
You woke up, go on I’ll listen
[Verse 1]
Is life like this, pen to paper alone like this?
Is this how they’ll see me when I’m gone?
Then should I dismiss my real thoughts to protect my kids?
Or should I let them see my weaknesses?
How will they remember me when I’m gone?
Should I let them see my weaknesses?
How will they remember me when I— (Ooh, ah)
[Verse 2]
So I record the same
The wild and mundane
'Cause I’m a whole person like they’ll be too
I’ll tell the truth
When I was wrong
And what I sacrificed to be strong
I’ll write every day, humming away
Even make it a habit that I don’t lose
'Cause I look back too
With a warmer heart
At the younger girl I once was
My journal’s like a link book to my brain
So reach out to it, cross the gate
'Cause everything I am is safe here in my mind
Someone told me that I couldn’t be myself
I would be me even more through my doubts
