[Verse 1]

Life tried to ghost me, left me on read,

But I flipped the script, rewrote what it said.

Every “L” I took just leveled me up,

Now I sip my hope from a half-full cup.

[Verse 2]

I’m not chasing perfect, I’m chasing the vibe,

Turn the volume up, feel the good survive.

[Chorus]

I’ve got a half full heart, overflowing with fire,

Every knockdown just lifts me higher.

I don’t see the empty, I see what’s true —

The glass is half full when I’m rolling with you.

Half full heart, and it beats like gold,

Every scar’s just proof that I’m bold.

[Verse 3]

Doubt tried to slide in, I blocked that shot,

Turned my “can’t” to “watch me” on the spot.

Every bruise is a badge, every tear is a flame,

And I’ll never let the shadows write my name.

[Bridge]

Half full, full send, I’ll never fake it,

Manifest the joy, I choose to make it.

[Chorus]

I’ve got a half full heart, overflowing with fire,

Every knockdown just lifts me higher.

I don’t see the empty, I see what’s true —

The glass is half full when I’m rolling with you.

Half full heart, and it beats like gold,

Every scar’s just proof that I’m bold.

[Outro]

Half full heart, yeah I’m living proof,

When you change your view, the stars change too.

I don’t see the empty, I see the rise —

The light gets brighter when you shift your eyes.
