tiny victories

Some days I Iook in the mirror and I think The meanest things, all the meanest things Somedays I'm holding my self-worth up By a string, a string But every day that I don't hide myself away To me, is a tiny victory Some days it feels like a wrecking ball is swinging Through my rib cage, my rib cage Some nights I'm just a million broken pieces singin' On a stage I'm a little more broken open, but a little more free And that's a tiny victory And if battles can win a war I can keep picking my sword up off the floor And learn to treasure these Tiny victories, tiny victories Some days givin' up on myself looks so So easy to do, it's so easy to do The struggle is slow, I'm barely movin' the needle And the cracks may be few, but there's light coming through And if battles can win a war I can keep picking my sword up off the floor And learn to treasure these Tiny victories, tiny victories Tiny victories, tiny victories Every day that I don't hide myself away Every day that I don't hide myself away To me, is a tiny victory --- tiny victories - Christina Perri
