[Verse 1] I used to hide beneath the skin That never really felt like mine Played a role I didn’t pick Smiling just to pass the time I kept my truth behind a wall Built it up so no one sees But silence never saved a soul It only drowns the screams [Pre-Chorus] But pain became a melody And fear began to fade Every scar’s a symphony Of choices that I made [Chorus] I’m better when I break Stronger every time I shake I was never meant to bend I was born to rise again It hurts but it’s worth the ache I’m better when I— Break [Verse 2] I’ve shed the names they gave to me The ones that never truly fit Now I breathe in honesty And exhale every counterfeit The mirror shows a brand new face One I finally recognize No more shame, no more erase I see fire in my eyes [Pre-Chorus] I won’t run from gravity Or try to disappear I’m becoming all of me And I’m staying right here [Chorus] I’m better when I break Stronger every time I shake I was never meant to bend I was born to rise again It hurts but it’s worth the ache I’m better when I— Break [Bridge] Let them talk, let them stare I’m not going anywhere This is my becoming And I’m proud to wear the change [Final Chorus] I’m better when I break Every crack begins to wake Something bold, something new And finally, it’s true It hurts but I wouldn’t trade I’m better when I— Break I’m better when I break
