Look How Far You've Come

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 sound

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 far too long

What goes up comes back down

Just to 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 far too long

What goes up comes back down

Just to 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 that it would never end

Oh, and darling, catch your breath

The world's gonna need your love, so do the best you can

Oh, I promise someday it'll all make sense

Look how, look how, look how far you've come

You've been running, running, running far too long

What goes up comes back down

Just to 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
