Lyrics
[Verse 1] I sat on the edge of the bed for an hour today Just watching the dust float in the light My phone is buzzing on the floor, I pushed it away I don't have the energy to be polite People tell me to shake it off, go for a run Act like the heavy feeling isn't there But painting over rust doesn't get the work done I’m sinking into this broken chair [Pre-Chorus] They say "Don't cry, you'll be alright" But they don't understand the price If I shut the door on the cold and the dark I shut out the warmth and my beating heart [Chorus] So I’m gonna let it hurt I’m gonna let it sit right here within my chest I’m gonna feel the loss Because that’s the only way my soul will get some rest I’m not broken, I’m just paying the cost Of loving something that I lost Yeah, sadness is a visitor I have to know 'Cause if I numb the rain, nothing’s gonna grow [Verse 2] It’s quiet in this room and that’s okay I’m not looking for a quick escape They said we can't heal what we don't feel So I’m peeling back the tape to show what's real It’s not depression, I’m not down in a hole It’s just a human sized gap, this heavy toll I’ll honor what is missing and do my best today I won't wish the gray away [Pre-Chorus] They say "Don't cry, you'll be alright" But they don't understand the price If I shut the door on the cold and the dark I shut out the warmth and my beating heart [Chorus] So I’m gonna let it hurt I’m gonna let it sit right here within my chest I’m gonna feel the loss Because that’s the only way to get some rest I’m not broken, I’m just paying the cost Of loving something that I lost Yeah, sadness is a visitor I have to know 'Cause if I numb the rain, nothing’s gonna grow [Bridge] (Minimal beat, stripped back vocals) The only way out is through The only way out is through I’ll feel this shadow so I can feel the sun too The only way out is through [Drop] (Melodic, vocal chops, driving but emotional beat) Let it rain Let it grow The only way out is through [Outro] I’m okay I’m just sad today And that’s okay.
