Verse 1 I was the girl on the floor, whisper‑thin, wanting more, with the world pressing down like a locked and heavy door. I saw a stranger in the mirror, eyes hollow, fading slow — but every scar I carried became a place where light could glow. (soft echo: “light could glow… light could glow…”) Pre‑Chorus I’m not who I was before — I’m the storm behind the shore. I’m the flame that dimmed to embers but refused to die anymore. Chorus I was born of the break, born of the ache, born of the nights that tried to pull me away. I rose from the wreck, salt on my breath, learning how to live with the ghosts in my chest. I’m the quiet thunder before the world shakes — I’m not broken, I’m born of the break. (echo: “born of the break… born of the break…”) Verse 2 I was the one they called fragile, the one they tried to tame, but you can’t hush a woman who remembers her own name. I walked through fire barefoot, with truth trembling in my hands, and every time I thought I’d fall, I rose again like shifting sand. (echo: “rise again… rise again…”) Pre‑Chorus I’m not who I was before — I’m the storm behind the shore. I’m the flame that dimmed to embers but refused to die anymore. Chorus I was born of the break, born of the ache, born of the nights that tried to pull me away. I rose from the wreck, salt on my breath, learning how to live with the ghosts in my chest. I’m the quiet thunder before the world shakes — I’m not broken, I’m born of the break. Bridge (Haunting, minimal) Let the sky split open, let the rain fall slow — I’ve weathered darker storms than anyone will know. Let the world misjudge me, let the rumors fly — I’ve got oceans in my veins and a wildfire mind. (echo: “wildfire mind… wildfire mind…”) Final Chorus (Soft, rising) I was born of the break, born of the ache, born of the nights that tried to pull me away. I rose from the wreck, hope in my breath, learning how to live with the truth in my chest. I’m the quiet thunder before the world shakes — I’m not broken, I’m born of the break. Outro (Whispered, echoing) Soft but unshaken… I rise in my own way… I’m not broken — I’m born of the break. (echo fading: “born of the break… break… break…”)
