[Verse 1] I used to carry stones In the pocket of my coat Every word they threw at me Stuck like salt into my throat I loved the way it hurt Like it proved I could still feel But the cracks were getting louder And the wound would never heal [Pre-Chorus] Then the floor gave out And I looked straight down Saw my shadow split in two On the kitchen ground I stayed there long enough To hear my own name Said, "Baby, get up now" Even in the rain [Chorus] Everything for a reason Even when it breaks Even when it bends you low Even when it shakes I am better on my own I am learning how to stay I can bloom in the dark And still find my way [Verse 2] There was love with heavy hands And a smile that felt too small I was lonely in a room With somebody by the wall Now I wake up unafraid To my quiet little life No more trading all my peace Just to call it being tied (Being tied) I don't need that kind of weight (I don't need it) I can hold myself instead (I can hold myself) [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, it took a while To unclench my chest To stop mistaking pain For some kind of test Now the scars look gold In the morning light Not because they never bled But because I chose the fight [Chorus] Everything for a reason Even when it breaks Even when it bends you low Even when it shakes I am better on my own I am learning how to stay I can bloom in the dark And still find my way [Bridge] Let the old names fall Like paper in the sink Let the tears come hard Then let them harden into strength I lost some things I loved I won't call it all a crime Some doors close for good So I can walk through mine (So I can walk) I can walk through mine (Through mine) I can walk through mine [Final Chorus] Everything for a reason Even when it breaks Even when it bends you low Even when it shakes I am better on my own I am learning how to stay I can bloom in the dark And still find my way Everything for a reason Now I see it clear I was made to rise again After every fear
