Mama said the world was cold But I was young, I still had hope Now my hands shake in the dark Trying to hold a falling heart Every road took something back Every dream fades into black And the mirror knows my name But I don’t recognize my face Some nights I pray Some nights I break Some nights I just stare at the blade of fate ’Cause life cuts like winter glass Leaves you bleeding while you smile for the past And every choice feels like losing someone No right way when the damage is done I had to leave pieces of me behind To keep what little I could still find And God knows I tried Yeah, God knows I tried I’ve buried love with open eyes Held my truth beneath the lies Sometimes survival means Becoming someone you don’t wanna be And the guilty sleep alone With a heart turned into stone But the strongest tears I cried Were the ones I had to hide Some wounds stay They never fade You just learn how to carry the weight ’Cause life cuts like winter glass Leaves you bleeding while you smile for the past And every choice feels like losing someone No right way when the damage is done I had to leave pieces of me behind To keep what little I could still find And God knows I tried Yeah, God knows I tried [Bridge — whispered → explosive] If I could go back Would I change a thing? Or are we all just broken souls Trying to survive the sting? I made my peace with the scars Even if they never heal Sometimes the hardest choice Is the only thing that’s real [Final Chorus — huge emotional climax] Yeah life cuts like winter glass And the pain keeps moving way too fast But I still walk through the fire alone Even when my last light’s gone I lost so much becoming strong Still I keep holding on And God knows I tried Oh, God knows I tried [Outro — fragile, almost crying] The world was cold… Mama, you were right…
