(soft acoustic guitar, subtle strings, ambient pads)
3 AM, staring at the sky,
Streetlights dim, but I don't know why.
Heart still heavy, mind still loud,
But I'm too damn tired to drown it out.
Tried to run, but the past won't fade,
Every step, yeah, I feel the weight.
But maybe scars don't mean I'm broken,
Maybe pain just means I've spoken.
And I know the night feels long,
Like the dark will never be gone.
But I hear a voice so low,
Saying, "Hold on, you're not alone."
Before dawn, before the light,
Through the storms, through the fight.
Every tear, every scar,
Led me right back to my heart.
Before dawn, before I break,
I still got time to find my way.
So I'll breathe, I'll hold on,
I won't be lost before dawn.
Memories like ghosts in my head,
But I won't let 'em pull me back again.
Midnight thoughts tried to take me down,
But I won't let 'em wear my crown.
Every fall, every ache,
Made me stronger, not a mistake.
Maybe I was meant to bend,
Just so I could rise again.
And I know the night feels long,
Like the dark will never be gone.
But I hear a voice so low,
Saying, "Hold on, you're not alone."
Before dawn, before the light,
Through the storms, through the fight.
Every tear, every scar,
Led me right back to my heart.
Before dawn, before I break,
I still got time to find my way.
So I'll breathe, I'll hold on,
I won't be lost before dawn.
(Auto-tune humming, soft harmonies)
Oh-oh, the sun will rise again...
Oh-oh, I'm not at my end...
Oh-oh, I'll stand through the pain...
I know the dawn will call my name...
(whispered)
I'm still here...
I'm still breathing...
And the light is near...
