Something Has Changed

How do I start this?
I guess I should start at where I've been
I've been at the lowest point in my life and I fought through it
It's been exhausting
There’s been a lot of nights where I've lost control
But I'm not finished, I'm not leaving yet
I’m not done with this world

Last year I was in the same place, I was in a worse space inside my mind
It's got to mean something
This year I'm doing the same thing but the good part is it's all a bit easier
If it counts for anything
Something's changed

I'm getting lost in the sky again but this time it's not existential
The sky looks beautiful this time of day
And maybe I failed to be stoic but that's okay
Cause I'm still here and that's enough for me

Last year I was in the same place, I was in a worse space inside my mind
It's got to mean something
This year I'm doing the same thing but the good part is it's all a bit easier
If it counts for anything
Something's changed

Last November I told Kyle I'd write some songs about getting better
But everyone who's listened knows I'm struggling trying get myself together
Maybe learn about contentment, gain some self-worth
But the mantra keeps repeating in my mind

I have to take it one day at a time
One breath at a time
I have to take it one day at a time
One breath at a time

And it feels good to look back and think that I grew despite the things I'd seen
I hate my past self but now that's not me
And maybe this happiness isn't permanent, tomorrow I'll probably be sad again
But at least for a little while I feel at home in my skin
