Not Dazed or Confused

[Verse 1] Made the bed, sent the note, called the place I’d put off Found my keys on the first try walking out Didn’t let the traffic steal the whole morning through Kept my cool when the printer did what printers do It’s not the kind of thing anybody sees No parade, no confetti in the street for me But some days getting through is its own kind of art And I’m learning how to count the small wins in my heart [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it don’t look like much From the outside looking in But some days the smallest thing Feels big as it’s ever been [Chorus] Tiny victories I’m collecting them slowly Little bits of light in the middle of ordinary Tiny victories That’s enough for me A box checked off, a deep breath caught A little kinder day than the one I thought Tiny victories [Verse 2] Answered that email, drank some water too Walked outside for five whole minutes in the blue Let myself laugh when I needed to Said “I’m tired” and that counted as the truth Maybe growing up is just learning this The day don’t always hand you a big clean win Sometimes all you get is a softer landing place And that’s still worth something at the end of the day [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it don’t make the news Maybe nobody claps But I’m done pretending Small things don’t count like that [Chorus] Tiny victories I’m collecting them slowly Little bits of light in the middle of ordinary Tiny victories That’s enough for me A box checked off, a deep breath caught A little kinder day than the one I thought Tiny victories [Bridge] I used to wait for some grand relief Now I know better what gets me through the week A little grace, a little less defeat A little proof I still belong to me [Final Chorus] Tiny victories I’m collecting them slowly Little bits of light in the middle of ordinary Tiny victories That’s enough for me A small good thing, a steady hand A softer place to finally land Tiny victories [Outro] Nothing flashy Nothing grand Just enough good To help me stand
