sober

Lyrics

Verse 1
Started back at 18, thought it was just a phase,
My ex showed me the way, pulled me into that haze.
Now I’m sober,
feeling the weight,
Body’s adjusting slow, but I’m showing up straight.
No more chasing that feeling that left me so lost,
I’m choosing a new path, no matter the cost.
Body’s still shaking, mind racing through the fog,
Flashing back to scenes that’d make most people log off.
Seen and did stuff that the world wouldn’t believe,
Lost myself in the smoke, barely room left to breathe.
But I’m done with the numbness, done playing pretend,
Picking up these pieces, tryna make ‘em whole again.

It's been over a month now, damn it feels like a lifetime,
Heart still aching but I’m claiming what’s mine.
It’s hard letting go of the only escape I knew,
But I’m facing these demons, tryna make it through.
Tears on my pillow, voices saying “just one more,”
I whisper back “nah,” planting both feet on the floor.
This recovery road, it’s lonely and it’s real,
But I’m human, I’m hurting, and I’m learning how to heal.

Verse 2
Memories hit different when the high’s finally gone,
Quiet gets too loud, gotta fight to stay strong.
Cravings sneak in like shadows under the door,
Pulling me backward, begging for just a little more.
I think about the lows, the way it stole my light,
The nights I felt empty under flickering streetlights.
Now I’m talking to myself like “you got this, kid,”
Even when my hands shake and my chest feels like a heavy-lid.

Chorus
Its been over a month, damn it feels like a lifetime,
Heart still aching but I’m claiming what’s mine.
It’s hard letting go of the only escape I knew,
But I’m facing these demons, tryna make it through.
Tears on my pillow, voices saying “just one more,”
I whisper back “nah,” planting both feet on the floor.
This recovery road, it’s lonely and it’s real,
But I’m human, I’m hurting, and I’m learning how to heal.

Bridge
I’m only 24, still got so much life ahead,
Can’t let this poison write the rest of the script I read.
It’s painful admitting I need to walk away,

Verse 3
This addiction runs so deep, it feels like I’m tearing apart,
But I have to choose healing, protect my own heart.
No more going back to what almost broke me down,
I’m building myself up, turning my life around.
To the habit that held me, to the pain that I knew,
I’m saying goodbye, starting fresh and brand new.
It’s going to be hard, but I’m ready to try,
It's been over a month now, and I’m reaching for the sky.

**Outro**
Yeah… I'm clean. It’s not easy, but I’m here.
Staying away from it all, for me.
One breath at a time. I got this.
