[Verse 1] I was bleeding out soul-deep and hollow, just a ghost in a clockwork routine. Holding on to what had to be done, While the earth shook inside me, unseen. I was strong for the sake of the others, Wearing a smile as I started to fall. But deep in the dark, I discovered: This wasn't my purpose at all. [Pre-chorus] You didn't come here to save me. You came so that I’d finally see: Not a role, not a debt, not a shadow, But the woman I’m destined to be. [Chorus] I don't want to just function anymore. I want to feel, to burn, to exist. No more silence, no more losing my core, No more shrinking myself to assist. As we stand in the light of the morning, Nine and nine in a brand new design, Not for worlds or for hollow adorning, But because I am finally mine. [Verse 2] You tell me it’s time for me to blossom, But I bloom from the strength of my soul. You give me space, not a prison; No hero to take back control. My children are the roots that define me; They are the heartbeat of all that I am. I’m not leaving my life behind— I’m bringing it home with me. [Pre-chorus] There'll be no returning to old, dusty shadows, No 'making do' just to survive. Moving forward isn't blind desperation; it's walking with you, truly alive. [Chorus] I don’t want to just function anymore. I want to love without 'ought' or 'must'. This feeling isn't fleeing a war; it’s truth, it’s simple, it’s just. If we ever say 'always' or 'forever', it's not out of fear of the night, but because we both know that together, this love can be honest and bright. [Bridge] Two worlds are waiting for us. We start by building from the inside. There's no healing without the hard truth, No rebirth without feeling the worst.
