[Verse 1] You left a stain on my Sunday dress Salt on my tongue, but I still said yes Bitter words in a paper cup I washed them down, then I grew up Your name in my phone still burns I learned the hard way how the table turns I kept the hurt in a velvet box Then I learned to laugh when the door unlocked [Pre-Chorus] Now I fold the ache like lace Put a soft light on my face If the past comes back to call I stand taller through it all [Chorus] Bitter memories, sugar scenes I make gold from broken seams Bitter memories, sugar scenes I keep my heart in between Bitter memories, sugar scenes I turn the hurt into dreams Bitter memories, sugar scenes Watch me rise, watch me breathe [Verse 2] I wore your shadow through the rain Let it cling like a second name But the mirror told me straight I was never meant to shrink that way So I lit a fire in my chest Took the long road, cleared the rest Now every scar on my sleeve Looks like proof that I can leave [Pre-Chorus] Now I fold the ache like lace Put a soft light on my face If the past comes back to call I stand taller through it all [Chorus] Bitter memories, sugar scenes I make gold from broken seams Bitter memories, sugar scenes I keep my heart in between Bitter memories, sugar scenes I turn the hurt into dreams Bitter memories, sugar scenes Watch me rise, watch me breathe [Bridge] And if I tremble, let me Tremble into grace I am not the wreck you left I am the open space I can hold my own hand now I can hear my own name What you tried to bury deep Only fed the flame [Final Chorus] Bitter memories, sugar scenes I make gold from broken seams Bitter memories, sugar scenes I keep my heart in between Bitter memories, sugar scenes I turn the hurt into dreams Bitter memories, sugar scenes Watch me rise, watch me breathe Bitter memories, sugar scenes I am more than what you did Bitter memories, sugar scenes Still I shine, still I live
