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 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 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 little longer if it helps," hm-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 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 is gonna need you, 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 for 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
