This Is For You

I stopped watching the news last week
Couldn't take another headline scream
It's always war or someone shot
And no one says what they forgot
Kids are growing up too fast
Asking questions I can't pass
Like "Why's the world so full of pain?"
Can't wash it off, it leaves a stain


This is for you, yeah, you're pushing through
I see your pain, and I know it's true
From all that pain, look how you grew
This is for you, this is for you

I saw a man break down and cry
Outside the store, just said "I tried"
He lost his job, can't pay the rent
And still he asked how I've been
We're all just holding on by threads
Scroll through hell before we get to bed
But if you're breathing, that's your proof
You're not alone — I feel it too

I can't fix the world, I won't pretend
But I'll sit with you until it mends

This is for you, yeah, you're pushing through
I see your pain, and I know it's true
From all that pain, look how you grew
This is for you, this is for you

So light a candle, say a name
Call your mom, forgive the blame
Turn the volume down tonight
And just be here, just be alive

This is for you, yeah, you're pushing through
I see your pain, and I know it's true
From all that pain, look how you grew
This is for you, this is for you

Yeah
This is for you
