[Verse 1] I walked through rooms I once believed in With broken light on every wall I spoke my truth in half-decisions Afraid to rise, afraid to fall I kept my hands clean from the fire But smelled the smoke inside my skin Every dream I called a warning Every loss I called a win [Chorus] I’ve been digging through the fire With a heart that’s barely brave Every sin I called desire Every hope I couldn’t save If I drown inside the answers If forgiveness comes too late Let the ashes know my name Let them know I stayed [Verse 2] I learned to smile without conviction Learned to breathe without a sound I made a home out of the tension Where no truth was ever found I crowned my fear as self-protection Called my silence discipline But the weight of all these choices Still remembers where I’ve been [Bridge] If I fall apart in daylight If the dark still feels the same I won’t beg the past for mercy I’ll stand still and take the flame [Chorus] I’ve been digging through the fire With these hands I couldn’t save If the world forgets my failures Let the ashes know my name
