[Intro] I breathe in quiet like it’s something I finally earned All the storms behind me, every lesson finally learned [Verse 1] I still bend, but I bend Like a willow in the breeze Not broken, just wiser From everything life brought to me I walked through nights Where love felt colder than the rain But I kept moving forward Till I found myself again [Pre-Chorus] Feel the calm roll in It’s the peace I never knew Every scar on me Is proof I made it through [Chorus] You didn’t win, no You didn’t shake me loose I found strength in the quiet In the truth I couldn’t refuse I wasn’t born hardened Life taught me how to stay Now I stand in the sunlight And I’m okay [Verse 2] I’ve been bruised by words That cut deeper than they should Loved in ways that hurt me More than they ever did good But I stitched myself together With patience and grace And I carry my past Like a song I’ve learned to face [Bridge] I’m not angry anymore I’m just done with the pain I let go of the thunder Stepped out of the rain You tried to break me down But I rose anyway And I found a quiet strength That never fades [Chorus] You didn’t win, no You didn’t shake me loose I found strength in the quiet In the truth I couldn’t refuse I wasn’t born hardened Life taught me how to stay Now I stand in the sunlight And I’m okay [Outro] Storms pass slow But they always do And I’m still here Calm, steady, and new
