lyrics:

you came over last night,
my stomach started hurting
but i was fine.
said “i don’t know how to do this,
but i’m gonna try.”

i’m different than before.
the remnants of a war is
always keeping score
said “i don’t know how to do this,
but i’m gonna try.”

i’ve been planting a garden,
that’s only mine.
you can look but it doesnt matter what you like.
uprooted red tomatoes, planted mountain mallow it’s fine.

i dont know how to do this,
but i have to try.

i moved all the boxes.
slowly seeing what you see in me,
your jaw drops as i’m talking -
well knowing i’ll survive,
makes it easier sometimes.

i’m different than before.
i know you smell the ashes,
im a veteran of asking
how to trust myself, you say,
“everyone already has been.”

i moved my bed a couple inches, to the right.
taking a deep breath, hand on my chest, close my eyes -
it’s up and down.
i get burned to grow twice my size,
trying to keep something alive.

*chorus*
