You Matter

Intro

Hey — hey, hey, hey (oh)

Slow down, breathe in, breathe out (breathe out)

Verse

You wake up to the same room full of faces that don't look up

Coffee gone cold, another line crossed out on your to-do list

Talking like a ghost at a breakfast table, invisible cup

You laugh it off, you fake the light, you swallow what you miss

They say it’s nothing, just the weather — like you’re weathered, like a storm

But storms leave footprints, rain remembers where it poured

You think your silence is a secret, think your leaving takes no form

But there's a thousand small things tied to you, tied to your name

Pre-chorus

I know that lonely grammar, how it shapes the nights

How the mirror argues back and never gives the rights

But listen — there’s a weight to you, a weight that holds the lines

There’s a chorus in the rooms you left, there’s someone in your light

Chorus

You matter, you matter, you matter — don't let it fade (you matter)

You matter, you matter, you matter — don't walk away (you matter)

If the world says you’re small, shout louder than the gray (oh-oh)

You matter, you matter — you matter today (you matter)

Verse

Remember the way someone stole your jacket, you chased 'em down the street?

Remember the night you saved the dog that wouldn't let you leave?

Those are maps of you — not accidents, not just repeat

You stitch the laugh in other people's days like fabric, like a weave

When the morning eats your confidence and leaves crumbs on your pride

There’s a hand somewhere that keeps the light on for your side

People are messy, people fall, they sometimes turn their eyes

But absence writes a question mark — and questions make replies

Pre-chorus

I know the shame that whispers you’d be easier erased

Like erasers work on people, like paper has a single face

But your story’s multi-page, full of stubborn, honest grace

You’re a sudden favorite line in somebody’s favorite place

Chorus

You matter, you matter, you matter — hold that like air (you matter)

You matter, you matter, you matter — find someone who cares (yeah)

When the mirror tries to tell you you’re fading — say it back (say it back)

You matter, you matter — don’t you ever let it crack (oh)

Bridge

If tonight feels like the last light in a long and hollow room

Call a voice, send a text, throw a question at the moon

I know it’s heavy — I know it’s loud — I know the fear is true

But there's a thousand little witnesses to the simple thing that’s you

You are the joke that ended the night, the plant that somehow grew

The voice that said the right thing when someone almost blew

So keep one window open, even on a crooked night

Let one song in through the crack — let one small thing bring light (light)

Chorus

You matter, you matter, you matter — say it back to me (you matter)

You matter, you matter, you matter — claim it, loudly, free (you matter)

Hold onto the small things: t
