[Intro]
They say the hardest part is letting go
But they don't know the work it takes to stay
[Verse 1]
I count the pills beside the kitchen sink
And mark another morning on the wall
My body makes a stranger of my name
Still I get dressed and answer when they call
[Pre-Chorus]
You see the parts that don't fit in your frame
I carry them; I carry on the same
[Chorus]
Dying is easy, living is the painful life
Fighting through a body that won't keep time
Being different, being sick, still reaching for tomorrow
I don't need a miracle—just one more day to borrow
Dying is easy, living asks me to survive
[Verse 2]
The waiting room is cold beneath my coat
A paper cup, a number in my hand
You ask me how I am; I say, "I'm fine"
Because the truth takes more than you can stand
[Pre-Chorus]
You see the parts that don't fit in your frame
I carry them; I carry on the same
[Chorus]
Dying is easy, living is the painful life
Fighting through a body that won't keep time
Being different, being sick, still reaching for tomorrow
I don't need a miracle—just one more day to borrow
Dying is easy, living asks me to survive
[Bridge]
If I shake, let me shake
If I break, let me breathe
I am more than the hurt
And the hurt doesn't get to name me
[Final Chorus]
Dying is easy, living is the painful life
Still I meet the morning, still I make the climb
Being different, being sick, still reaching for tomorrow
I don't need a miracle—I'll face the day I borrow
Dying is easy; living asks me to survive
And I am still here, still alive
[Outro]
Still here
Still alive
