even if your voice shakes

She makes Facebook posts on women's rights
But wouldn't fight for mine
And I'll never forget the way his hands moved
When he touched me on that night
Fifteen and silent
Stuck in autopilot to run
But where could I go when he's invited to the family fun

And I let it sink real down
to block it out, denied and justified
I didn't understand
So I'd pretend that everything was fine
God gave me courage
And somehow sent the words in to say out loud
But more than anything
God showed me a way out

Even if your voice shakes
Even if their hearts break
Even if your world comes crashing down
I promise you'll be okay
There's hope in the heartache
Whenever you're ready, we're around
It won't be easy
But there's always a way out

Fighting with your memories til borderline insanity
I know
How isolating it can feel to be in that
You're not alone
And I hear those questions that you're asking, why'd it happen?
We don't know
But I'll hold your hand
Till rocks turn to sand
We'll write the chapter
Choose the end

So even if your voice shakes
Even if their hearts break
Even if your world comes crashing down
I promise you'll be okay
There's hope in the heartache
Whenever you're ready, we're around

Even if your voice shakes
Even if their hearts break
Even if your world comes crashing down
I promise you'll be okay
There's hope in the heartache
Whenever you're ready, we're around
It won't be easy
But there's always a way out
