(Verse 1) I was walking through the silence, chasing ghosts of who I was, Trading pain for some defiance, hiding from my own soft love. I built walls out of stories, I forgot how to cry, But the cracks let in the glory, now I see the reason why. (Pre-Chorus) Every night I thought of leaving, I was inches from the edge, But a whisper in the bleeding said, “you ain’t finished yet.” (Chorus) I never gave up on the man in the mirror, Even when I swore I was done. Held my breath through the darkest seasons, Learned that healing don’t mean you run. Plugged the hole where the hurt kept leaking, Poured my heart into the sun again. Now I’m not just surviving — I’m whole again. (Verse 2) I found truth in the trembling, in the breaking of the day, Learned that light is just remembering, that your soul still wants to stay. Took the time to know my shadows, took the blame, forgave the rest, Now the wound’s become a window, and I’m breathing from my chest. (Pre-Chorus) I ain’t chasing some salvation, I just made peace with the rain, Turns out love was always waiting, right beneath the pain. (Chorus) I never gave up on the man in the mirror, Even when I swore I was done. Held my breath through the darkest seasons, Learned that healing don’t mean you run. Plugged the hole where the hurt kept leaking, Poured my heart into the sun again. Now I’m not just surviving — I’m whole again. (Bridge) And I don’t need to be perfect, I just need to be real, It took a lifetime to learn this — it’s okay to feel. (Outro) So here’s to the fall, the fight, and the climb, To the boy who stayed through the hardest of times. Yeah, I almost left, but I chose to mend — And I found myself at the other end. Whole again.
