[Verse 1] You told me once—just once—what it was like, The pressure, the tests, the cold kind of right. How he made you feel small in the name of the divine, Like if you broke, it meant crossing some line. And your mother— She was the only softness in that house of command, The only one who held your shaking hands. But you were still just a boy when the sickness came fast, And love was something you had to learn in the past. [Chorus] You never asked for glory, just a place to breathe, Somewhere no one needed you to bleed just to believe. But they cracked you like porcelain, then asked you to shine— Now you wear your seams like armor, gold threaded through time. They don’t get to name you, not anymore— You’re Kintsugi fire, burned down and reborn. [Verse 2] You left before the morning you’d be called a man, Left the altar, left the plan. Said you couldn’t stomach the pain they dressed up as peace, And I see now why you ran just to find your release. In that village, no one knew your name, So you taught the kids and tried to stay sane. And you met her—the one who grew light from the dirt, And for the first time, love didn’t hurt. [Chorus] You never asked for mercy, just a second chance, To live like the world wasn’t built on demands. But blood on your hands made you fold into fear— You ran from the flame, wouldn’t let it come near. Still, look where you are—you’re holding the torch, You’re Kintsugi fire, rebuilt and reforged. [Bridge – half-spoken, like she’s thinking it out loud] You said no fire spells. Said you couldn’t bear to burn again. But now? Now you’ve got them all. Not to destroy. To protect. To love. To shield the things that finally make you feel human again. [Verse 3] You’ve got class now, and hell, you’ve got sass, You’ve turned pain into something that lasts. And you don’t owe them a thing—not your guilt, not your name, You’ve taken their fire and flipped the whole game. [Final Chorus – stronger, with love in every word] You never asked to be a hero, just to stand and breathe, But now you carry whole worlds in the space between your teeth. They broke you down thinking you’d stay small— But you rose, love, you rose, and you made it look tall. They don’t get to claim you, not anymore— You’re Kintsugi fire—scarred, sacred, and sure. [Outro – gentle, like a promise] So if you forget—if it all feels dire… Let this be the mirror: You’re Kintsugi fire.
