Song: This Is Me Trying

And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound/It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you/You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town/And I just wanted you to know/That this is me trying...For: Those who are weary from pretending to be fine yet still take pride in their resilience, even if it's just a flicker.

Song: The Archer

Combat, I'm ready for combat/I say I don't want that, but what if I do?/'Cause cruelty wins in the movies/I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you/Easy they come, easy they go/I jump from the train, I ride off alone...For: Individuals starting to recognize their self-sabotaging relationship patterns.

Song: Clean

Hung my head as I lost the war/And the sky turned black like a perfect storm/Rain came pouring down/When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe/And by morning/Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean...For: Those learning that healing involves reclaiming parts of themselves rather than simply forgetting.

Song: Long Story Short

And I fell from the pedestal/Right down the rabbit hole/Long story short, it was a bad time/Pushed from the precipice/Climbed right back up the cliff/Long story short, I survived...For: Anyone who has endured challenges they thought would break them and is just beginning to realize their strength.

Song: Call It What You Want

My castle crumbled overnight/I brought a knife to a gunfight/They took the crown, but it's alright/All the liars are calling me one/Nobody's heard from me for months/I'm doing better than I ever was...For: Those who have stopped seeking approval from others and are embracing their true selves.

Song: You're On Your Own, Kid

I gave my blood, sweat, and tears for this/I hosted parties and starved my body/Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss......'Cause there were pages turned with the bridges burned/Everything you lose is a step you take/So make the friendship bracelets, take the moment and taste it/You've got no reason to be afraid...For: Individuals realizing that no relationship can save them; self-acceptance is the true escape.

Song: Dear Reader

If it feels like a trap, you're already in one/Dear reader/Get out your map, pick somewhere and just run/Dear reader/Burn all the files, desert all your past lives/And if you don't recognize yourself/That means you did it right......You should find another/Guiding light/But I shine so bright/You should find another...For: Those who have outgrown their past selves, even if it means not recognizing who they once were.

Song: Daylight

I've been sleepin' so long in a twenty-year dark night/(Now I'm wide awake)And now I see daylight (Daylight), I only see daylight (Daylight)......I once believed love would be (Black and white)But it's golden (Golden)...For: Anyone finally unlearning unhealthy perceptions of love and discovering a peaceful way to love.

Song: Begin Again

I've been spending the last eight months/Thinking all love ever does/Is break and burn, and end/But on a Wednesday in a cafe/I watched it begin again...For: Those who thought love was lost to them, only to find it can return unexpectedly and simply.

Song: The Manuscript

The only thing that's left is the manuscript/One last souvenir from my trip to your shores/Now and then I reread the manuscript/But the story isn't mine anymore...For: Individuals who have made peace with their past and no longer allow old love stories to define them, while still acknowledging their impact.
