[Verse 1] I built a wall from whispers and fear Stacked it high so no one could get near Echoes wrapped me in layers of shame They knew my name, but I played the blame Silent defiance—truth denied Held my past like it never lied [Pre-Chorus 1] I reached for shadows, let anyone in Cried for a hand, but none would begin Anger roared, joy slipped away Left in the wreckage I helped create [Chorus] Who I've been waiting for… was always me Through the cracks and scars, I held the key Searching for answers in someone else But the love I needed lived in myself Tended the ember, bloomed it to flame Found my own bliss when I reclaimed my name [Verse 2] The mirror shattered, showed me lies A thousand faces, none met my eyes I chased the stars, they burned ice cold The silence whispered the truths I hold [Pre-Chorus 2] Every cry, every plea Every fight brought me back to me [Chorus] Who I've been waiting for… was always me Through the cracks and scars, I held the key Searching for answers in someone else But the love I needed lived in myself Tended the ember, bloomed it to flame Found my own bliss when I reclaimed my name
