Pause the World

I've been running in circles, chasing every sound
Giving all my pieces, but I'm breaking down
Smiles on the outside, but I'm lost inside
I need a quiet moment, where my soul can hide

So I close my eyes, let the noise drift away
Even in the storm, I can find my own safe place

I pause the world, so I can rise
Stronger with every breath inside
In the silence, I feel strong
I remember I belong
It's not weakness, it's my cure
When I pause the world, I feel secure

Every voice is calling, pulling me to choose
But I can't pour from empty, I've got too much to lose
So I'm learning to listen, to the beat of my own heart
Healing isn't selfish, it's the bravest start

I'm not afraid to stop, I'm not afraid to rest
The power's in the moment when I give myself my best

I pause the world, so I can rise
Stronger with every breath inside
In the silence, I feel strong
I remember I belong
It's not weakness, it's my cure
When I pause the world, I feel secure

She said, Don't be scared to slow down the pace
The mirror shows strength when you give yourself grace
You don't have to fight every battle alone
Sometimes the bravest thing is letting go

I pause the world, I reclaim me
I rise from the quiet, stronger than they see
In the stillness, I'm alive
Now I'm ready, I can thrive
It's not weakness, it's my cure
When I pause the world, my heart is sure

Strong when I'm still, brave when I rest
I give the world my best when I give myself rest
Strong when I'm still, brave when I rest
I give the world my best when I give myself rest
