Five Checkmarks

가사

[Verse 1] Mama's temper hit the walls Daddy's shadow filled the hall Shut my mouth and held my breath Learned that fear before I walked [Verse 2] Fifth-grade shoes, a secondhand coat Cheap shampoo and a broken hope Counted cracks along the floor Kept my head down, asked for more [Pre-Chorus] Now the paper says it plain What the heart has known for years Every hurt left its mark Every mark can turn to tears [Chorus] Five checkmarks on my soul Five checkmarks, heavy load But I'm still here, still standing Still learning how to let it go Five checkmarks, heavy load I won't let them write my road [Verse 3] The doctor reads my story slow Says the body keeps what it knows Sleepless nights and aching bones Little alarms in my own home [Pre-Chorus] Now I name it, one by one And the power starts to change What was buried in the dark Doesn't have to stay the same [Chorus] Five checkmarks on my soul Five checkmarks, heavy load But I'm still here, still standing Still learning how to let it go Five checkmarks, heavy load I won't let them write my road [Bridge] If you see the kid I was Tell him he can come inside There’s a table, there’s a door There’s a place where hurt won't hide I can break the old chain now I can choose a different road [Final Chorus] Five checkmarks on my soul Five checkmarks, heavy load But I'm still here, still standing Still learning how to let it go Five checkmarks, heavy load I won't let them write my road I won't let them write my road
