Lyrics

Disappointment shows me
Where I cared
Where my hopes
Were too high
And I
Wasn’t prepared

But it doesn’t mean
I failed
It means
I tried
And next time
I’ll walk with open eyes

Embarrassment burns
But it shines a light
On the parts of me
That still want to hide
It shows what matters
What I protect
And what I haven’t fully
Accepted yet

Every feeling
Tells me
Something
Not here to break me
Here to teach
Every ache and sting
Is guiding
Where I’ve been holding back
From peace

Anger shows
The line that’s crossed
Jealousy shows
What I think I’ve lost
Even fear says:
"Here’s your edge"
All emotions keep me
On the ledge
Where truth begins

Irritation wakes
The part of me
That’s been too quiet
Dying to speak
It says:
"You’ve bent too much again"
It’s time to choose yourself
Not just pretend

Resentment isn’t poison
It’s a flag
Waving where I gave
But never asked
It says:
You’re drained
That’s not love
That’s you bleeding
While they call it enough

Every feeling tells me
Something
Not here to hurt me
Here to lead
Even the ones
I try to bury
Are messengers
I need to read

Anger draws the line
I need
Shame reveals
Where I don’t feel free
Fear says:
"There’s a leap to take"
And sadness shows
What’s still at stake

None of this
Is bad news
It’s the map
Back to myself
Every time
I feel too much
It’s a part
That needs my help

No more pushing it away
I feel
I learn
I grow that way

Every feeling tells me
Something
They’re the truth
Beneath
The noise
Even pain
When held with care
Can lead me back
To my own voice

Anger
Fear
Shame or doubt
They’re the signs
I can’t live without
No emotion is my enemy
They are signals
Setting me free
