[Verse 1] I wore my worst days like names on my skin kept pressing the bruise to prove it had been I held every wrong turn like a stone in my chest and called it a lesson while I starved out the rest [Pre-Chorus] But a wound is not wisdom if you never let it breathe and shame is a cage door you keep closing on yourself [Chorus] Let it teach, let it go let it leave a mark, not a home (leave a mark, not a home) I am more than what I broke I can learn and move on (learn and move on) [Verse 2] The ones who cut deep want rent in your mind they live in your anger when you pay every time So I am taking back what I gave to the hurt my peace is not proof that I forgot what it was worth [Pre-Chorus] I can name what was cruel and still hand it no key I can keep my heart open without making it bleed for free [Chorus] Let it teach, let it go let it leave a mark, not a home (leave a mark, not a home) I am more than what I broke I can learn and move on (learn and move on) [Bridge] I do not need to punish the person I was then they were only surviving with the tools they had in hand And I do not owe my pain a throne in my head what happened was real but it does not get to steer me again [Final Chorus] Let it teach, let it go let it leave a mark, not a home (leave a mark, not a home) I am more than what I broke I can learn and move on (learn and move on) Let it teach, let it go you don't get to keep my soul (keep my soul) What they did was not my name and my future is my own (my future is my own)
