[INTRO] Look away... [VERSE 1] They braked for the smoke. They stared at the flame. Everybody loves a beautiful wreck. Heads turned. Phones raised. Quiet little prayers... "Thank God it wasn't me." Funny... They all remember the impact. Not the sound after the glass stops. Not the hands trying to put it back. They saw the moment everything broke. They never saw what happened next. [PRE-CHORUS] I said "Amen"... like a loaded word. Like a match in a room... full of prayers unheard. [CHORUS] Everybody slowed to watch me break. Nobody stayed to watch me mend. Don't... look away. See... what survives. There's more than the wreck. There's more than the damage. There's more than the pieces they left... and Even... God... Looks away. [VERSE 2] The sirens fade. The crowd goes home. The road keeps moving. I... move alone. The skid marks faded long before the trauma disappeared. They counted scars. They missed the stitches. Loved the fall. Ignored the fixing. I kept talking to an empty sky. Not for answers. Just another pair of eyes. [PRE-CHORUS 2] I said "Amen"... through gritted teeth. Not because I knew... Because I needed something... to hear me breathe. breathe... breathe... [CHORUS 2] Everybody slowed to watch me break. Nobody stayed to watch me mend. Don't... look away. Bear witness. I am more than the moment everything ends. I am more than the wreckage you remember... but Even... God... Looked away. [BRIDGE] Don't fix me. Don't rewrite the ending. Don't hold up the pieces... and call it whole. You saw the fire. You saw the fall. You never saw the hands... that survived it all. I wasn't waiting for a miracle. I wasn't asking for a reason. I only needed someone to stay... when there was nothing left to believe in. Not rescue. Not answers. Not another voice telling me who I should become. Just someone... who could look at the damage... and still see... someone. Someone. [FINAL CHORUS] Everybody slowed to watch me break. Nobody stayed to watch me mend. Don't... look away. There's more than the wreck. There's more than the damage. There's more than the person you saw disappear. I am still here. I can still move. I can still walk through what I lived through. [Band falls away.] I can still breathe. And yet... Even... God... Looks away.
