I know you can't see the light right now
They buried you alive with no way out
You're screamin' underwater but nobody hears a song
You taught yourself to swim so you don't drown

But just in case nobody told you this today

Look how, look how, look how far you've come
You've been running, running, running for too long
What goes up comes back down
Just a circle back around
I know you're not nearly done when
You can't seem to get back up just
Look how, look how, look how far you've come

I wish I could hold my younger self
I'd say, "Cry a litle longer if it helps, mm"
'Cause you can't choose the place you're born
Your hair, your name, your baby clothes
But getting here, you did that on your own

And just in case nobody told you this today

Look how, look how, look how far you've come
You've been running, running, running for too long
What goes up comes back down
Just a circle back around
I know you're not nearly done when
You can't seem to get back up just
Look how, look how, look how far you've come

Oh, and in case that you forget
The last time you were here
You swore it would never end
And, darling, catch your breath
The world's gonna need you love
So do the best you can
Oh, I promise that it'll all make sense

Look how, look how, look how far you've come
You've been running, running, running for too long
What goes up comes back down
Just a circle back around
I know you're not nearly done when
You can't seem to get back up just
Look how, look how, look how far you've come

Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
