The Year the World Stopped Lyrics

I used to run, never thought to slow down.
Woke up each day, wore my smile like a crown.
But then the world went quiet overnight.
And I started seeing things in a different light.

Pictures in frames, dust on the shelf.
Hadn't really talked to myself.
The mirror told me things I didn't want to know.
The quiet got loud and it wouldn't let go.

Was I happy or just staying busy?
Was I full or just feeling dizzy?
Now it's either too much or nothing at all.
Even laughter don't echo like it did before.

In the year the world stopped, I opened my eyes.
Saw the cracks in the life I thought was right.
All the colors faded and I can't explain.
Was it always like this or did something change?

Yeah I woke up and I lost my way
In the year the world stopped, I've been wide awake.

I scroll through the news, but it's all just noise.
Too many choices, not enough voice.
Friends drifted, some never came back.
We all fell off of some kind of track.

Plans we made don't fit me now.
Too many questions, too much doubt.
I don't know what I'm chasing next,
but it's not the same as what's left.

Was it better back then or just less real?
Now I feel things I used to not feel.
Feels like we're all just a little bit lost.
Trying to rebuild with what we've got.

In the year the world stopped, I opened my eyes.
Saw the cracks in the life I thought was right.
All the colors faded and I can't explain.
Was it always like this or did something change?

Yeah, I woke up and I lost my way.
In the year the world stopped, I've been wide awake.

But maybe starting over's not so bad.
Maybe breaking down just makes room to add.
We're not the same, but we're still here.
Still standing after all the fear.

In the year the world stopped,
I learned how to feel.
Found out the quiet can help you heal.
There's pain in waking, but hope in the cracks.
And maybe not all things should come back.
Yeah, I woke up and I found my way.
In the year the world stopped, I faced the day.
