Comfortable Ache

Once again in a familiar place
This is all such a comfortable ache

I’ve been pushed
I’ve been pressed
Til I had nothing left
I’ve been beat
I’ve been stretched
But I still did my best

Don’t tell me to hurry up and wait
When everything has an expiration date

I’ve been pushed
I’ve been pressed
Til I had nothing left
I’ve been beat
I’ve been stretched
But I still did my best

So much left to say
The things I’ve bottled I’ll get off my plate

Light shines the brightest in the dark
Breaking the silence and leaving our mark
So sick of being alone
Tired of feeling so low
And I’ll never give up on hope

I’ve been torn
I’ve been stressed
But I climbed step by step
In a mess of regrets
I still passed all my tests

Don’t tell me to hurry up and wait
When everything has an expiration date

I’ve been pushed
I’ve been pressed
Til I had nothing left
I’ve been beat
I’ve been stretched
But I still did my best

Light shines the brightest in the dark
Breaking the silence and leaving our mark
So sick of being alone
Tired of feeling so low
And I’ll never give up on hope

How can I repay the price they paid?
I’ve fallen short but I’ll keep my faith
So sick of being alone
Tired of feeling so low
And I’ll never give up on hope

I cannot seem to just let things go
I try to hide it
But it all still shows

These insecurities of mine
Self doubt and an overthinking mind
All keep me wide awake at night
But I know that I will be just fine

So much left to say

Light shines the brightest in the dark
Breaking the silence and leaving our mark
So sick of being alone
Tired of feeling so low
And I’ll never give up on hope

How can I repay the price they paid?
I’ve fallen short but I’ll keep my faith
So sick of being alone
Tired of feeling so low
And I’ll never give up on hope
