[ Intro] Room full of shadows, I still hear the floorboards breathe. Little girl hiding from thunder, Now the thunder lives in me. [Verse 1] I learned love from a bottle on the counter, From a man who disappeared while he was there. Mama tried to make the house feel softer, But the silence had its hands in my hair. I was young when the dark got familiar, Too young to know my body was my own. Kept my secrets underneath my pillow, Made a kingdom out of being alone. And I ran, I ran, I ran from the mirror, Put my pain in anything that burned. Every high was a borrowed little heaven, Every morning was a lesson I refused to learn. [Pre-Chorus] But something in me wouldn’t die, Even when I begged it not to shine. I was broken open on the roadside, And the sky came pouring through the line. [Chorus] Now I bloom from the wreckage, I rise where the glass fell down. I got scars with a message, I got roots in the underground. I’m not the girl they left in pieces, I’m not the night I had to survive. I walked through fire with my name in my teeth, Now I’m coming out alive. I’m coming out alive. I’m coming out alive. [Verse 2] There were months when my bones spoke louder Than the people saying, “You’ll be fine.” Had to learn how to stand in the morning, Had to teach my own lungs how to climb. Every step was a small revolution, Every breath was a match in the rain. I stopped calling my past my prison, Started calling it proof I changed. Now I see light in the cracks of the ceiling, Hear new songs in the wires and the trees. There’s a woman in the glass I’m meeting, And she looks like someone I can finally believe. [Pre-Chorus 2] Something in me learned to fly With a bent wing and a bloodshot eye. I was almost gone, but not taken, I was rearranged, not erased this time. [Chorus] Now I bloom from the wreckage, I rise where the glass fell down. I got scars with a message, I got roots in the underground. I’m not the girl they left in pieces, I’m not the night I had to survive. I walked through fire with my name in my teeth, Now I’m coming out alive. I’m coming out alive. I’m coming out alive. [Bridge] Don’t pity the places I came from. Don’t whisper my story like shame. I turned my ghosts into doorways, I turned my hurt into flame. I don’t need the world to save me. I don’t need the past to apologize. I found gold in the black smoke, I found dawn in my own eyes. And I’m not empty. I’m not cursed. I’m not ruined. I’m rebirthed. [Final Chorus] Now I bloom from the wreckage, I rise where the glass fell down. I got scars with a message, I got roots in the underground. I’m not the girl they left in pieces, I’m not the night I had to survive. I walked through fire with my name in my teeth, Now I’m coming out alive. Now the fruit is on the branches, Now the sun knows where I am. I was buried under damage, But I came back as the land. I’m coming out alive. I’m coming out alive. I’m coming out alive. [Outro] Room full of morning, I still hear the old house breathe. But the little girl inside me Finally gets to leave.
