Verse 1 I thought healing was a highway A road that only moved ahead But I keep finding old reflections In the places I thought were dead The same questions at my doorstep The same ache beneath my skin But something feels a little different Every time I walk back in Pre-Chorus Maybe I’m not going nowhere Maybe I just couldn’t see The path was never made of circles It was leading into me Chorus I am the spiral turning inward Every step reveals a deeper truth Not the woman that I once was Not the girl I used to lose What returns is not the lesson It’s the wisdom I couldn’t see The spiral isn’t taking me in circles It’s bringing me back to me Verse 2 The fire taught me how to question The longing taught me how to feel The silence showed me where I vanished And the truth began to heal Every heartbreak left a doorway Every ending left a key Every wound became a teacher Pointing back to something free Pre-Chorus And the center keeps on calling Like a voice beneath the sea Saying, “Come a little closer There’s more of you to meet” Chorus I am the spiral turning inward Every step reveals a deeper truth Not the woman that I once was Not the girl I used to lose What returns is not the lesson It’s the wisdom I couldn’t see The spiral isn’t taking me in circles It’s bringing me back to me Bridge So if the story shows up again I won’t mistake it for the same The river may return to places But it never has the same name I am changing with the current I am changing with the tide And every turn I thought would break me Was another layer opening inside Final Chorus I am the spiral turning inward Toward the center of my soul Every step that felt like wandering Was another piece made whole What returns is not the lesson It’s the woman I’m meant to be The spiral isn’t taking me in circles It’s bringing me home It’s bringing me home Back to me Outro (spoken softly) The path is not taking you in circles. It is taking you inward. And waiting at the center… is the part of you that never left.
