[Intro] [fingerpicked electric guitar arpeggio] Build fast But the cracks still sh-sh-show True stays buried where the dark winds blow (blow-blow-blow) [Chorus] [syncopated drums enter, sub-bass enters] [falsetto vocalizations] Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 1] [staccato vocal delivery] Tried calm, but the fi-fi-fire stayed near Tried peace, but it wh-wh-whispered fear You move like fire but you don't consume Even heat can leave a room Left with ache and a half-lit heart Learning where the healing starts Pulse in the dust, I had to find it Hurt builds walls, I re-re-redesign it Fog in my chest still climbing through Still choosing hope like a weapon new You held my quiet like it mattered to You didn't speak, but I still knew [Chorus] [layered vocal harmonies] Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 2] [drums and bass continue] Still tense, still caught in the loop I fear Chasing shadows every re-repeat each year Been so lost I forgot where I began Same old ache, same old spin Deep pause everywhere I stood Somehow you stayed, somehow you understood Heart out racing, breath retracing Every old wound keeps inter-interlacing Shift blame, shift shame, shift the whole frame Still fight the echo that calls my name Fear still flickers, grief still shakes But I rebuild softer with every break Didn't fall silent, I held my place Learning that healing is no-not a race [Outro] [drums drop out, guitar arpeggio fades] [falsetto vocalizations] Ooh-ooh-ooh You move like fire but you don't consume Even heat can leave a room Ooh-ooh-ooh Still hurt, still here Still rising through And every scar reminds me I made it through Harder to lose, harder to lose Harder to lose, harder to lose
