Yeah... all of it hurt... I'm still here though still learning how to hold both[Intro] [Verse 1] January left me hollow, February broke my ribs March I was drowning quiet, barely holding it together April tears on the pillow, didn't tell a soul May I wore a smile that didn't fit, it felt so cold June through August, just surviving, counting scars September I was angry at the mirror, at the stars October tried to bury me, November tried again December I'm still standing, but damn I'm tired, man [Pre-Chorus] I kept every wound, didn't throw them away Learned they could turn if I let them stay Take the pain, make it beauty Let the dark turn into something see-through I been down, but I'm still breathing Screw the weight, I'm bleeding into truth Take the pain, make it beauty Ashes in my hands, I'm planting new seeds Sad as hell, but I'm hopeful too Yeah, I'm broken and I'm beautiful[Chorus] [Verse 2] Lost people, lost sleep, lost faith in the easy way Cried in the dark, no witness, just me and the ache Hated myself for a minute, thought I'd never change Then I saw the cracks let light in, isn't that strange Every mistake taught me something I couldn't learn clean Every bruise made a color I needed to paint the dream I'm not healed, I'm healing, that's enough for me Turning all this hurt into what I'm meant to be [Pre-Chorus 2] I stopped running from the dark, started sitting with it Found a kind of quiet that the fire couldn't hit If it's mine to carry, then it's mine to use Let the worst year teach me how to choose Take the pain, make it beauty Let the hurt stay honest, let it move through I been low, but I'm not leaving Let the night be the proof I made it through Take the pain, make it beauty Hands still shaking, but I'm reaching too Sad and hopeful, both are true Yeah, I'm broken and I'm beautiful[Chorus 2] [Verse 3] January taught me silence, I wore it like a weight February left a mark I still feel when I breathe late March I talked to shadows just to feel less alone April I forgave the kid I was, he did what he could with stone May I quit pretending that the ache wasn't mine June I learned to carry it instead of bury every time July I watched the sky change and knew I could too August through December, I kept choosing to get through If you feel it too, you're not alone We carry storms, then we grow Sad and hopeful in the same breath That's how the ugly turns to gold I don't need it perfect, I just need it true I don't need it easy, I just need it through[Bridge] Take it, break it, shape it Let the hurt remake it Every tear, every error Turns to something greater Hold it, face it, name it Watch the dark create it[Breakdown] Take the pain, make it beauty Let it hurt, let it teach you I been low, but I'm still reaching Yeah, I'm human, that's my freedom too Take the pain, make it beauty Winter in my chest, but spring is coming through Sad for real, yeah, hopeful too I'm the proof that the dark can bloom Take the pain, make it beauty All that I survived is part of you and me too[Final Chorus] Yeah... take the pain... make it beauty... let it stay... let it change you[Outro]
