[Verse 1] I was silent for so long Thought my pain didn't belong Depression had me in a chokehold, couldn't breathe Wore a smile to hide the war Didn't think you'd want to know more So I buried every battle underneath But somebody out there is where I used to be Waiting on a witness, waiting on a key **[Pre-Chorus]** So I'm opening my mouth Letting all the truth come out No more hiding in the dark alone **[Chorus]** I'm back, I'm breathing Finally finding my way through I'm back, I'm healing Choosing transparency for you My silence almost took me out But now I'm learning what I'm about Be the voice you needed when you had none Your story isn't over, it's just begun **[Verse 2]** To everyone who's fighting wars Behind their closed and heavy doors I see you in the shadows, I've been there You are not too far gone You are not too broken, you belong And somebody needs to know that somebody cares Your testimony isn't just your own It's a map for someone trying to find home **[Pre-Chorus]** So I'm opening my mouth Letting all the truth come out No more hiding in the dark alone **[Chorus]** I'm back, I'm breathing Finally finding my way through I'm back, I'm healing Choosing transparency for you My silence almost took me out But now I'm learning what I'm about Be the voice you needed when you had none Your story isn't over, it's just begun **[Bridge]** You are not alone You are not too broken Every word you speak Is a chain being broken Speak it for the ones Who haven't found their voice yet Your pain has a purpose Don't you dare forget it **[Final Chorus]** I'm back, I'm breathing Rising from the weight I knew I'm back, I'm healing And I'm doing it for you My silence almost took me out But love gave me something to shout Be the voice you needed when you had none Your story isn't over No, your story isn't over Your story has just begun
