Kira Rae - Blank Page Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Empty pages stare me down tonight
Coffee stains and teardrops, that's my life
Trying to write myself back into being
But these perfect lines keep disagreeing
With the mess inside my head

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama said be strong, keep moving on
But strength feels wrong when I'm this gone
These Caribbean lullabies ain't working anymore

[Chorus]
I'm a blank page waiting to be filled
Got these beautiful wounds that won't be stilled
Every word I write, I cross it out
'Cause perfection's just another doubt
Starting over's such a bitch, but here I am
Blank page, blank mind, trying to understand

[Verse 2]
Three AM, my thoughts are scratching deep
Like this pen against my diary sheets
Want my story neat but it's coming out broken
All these perfect words remain unspoken
In the chaos of my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Daddy's wisdom echoes through the years
"Girl, your scars will dry up with your tears"
But these midnight whispers keep me tossing still

[Chorus]
I'm a blank page waiting to be filled
Got these beautiful wounds that won't be stilled
Every word I write, I cross it out
'Cause perfection's just another doubt
Starting over's such a bitch, but here I am
Blank page, blank mind, trying to understand

[Bridge]
Sometimes healing ain't pretty
Sometimes healing ain't clean
But these paper cuts are teaching me
What this emptiness could mean

[Outro]
Just a blank page
Just a new day
Just me finding my own way
Through the white space
