[Verse] I learned to breathe beneath the tide, holding still while the waves rose high. Your whisper moved like a pulling line, dragging me under when I closed my eyes. But in the distance there’s a silver shore, a quiet light I haven’t seen before. Softly now the current lets me go, I feel the turning of the undertow. [Chorus] Don’t pull me under. I rise through the water, through the fire, through the storm you named. Don’t pull me under. My heart beats louder than the damage you claimed. I stand in the open. I burn through the shadows you tried to own. Don’t pull me under. I finally know I can stand alone. [Verse] I walked on coals to keep your peace, breathing in every spark you threw. Your anger fell like a rain of flame, catching on everything I once knew. But now your embers only fade to grey, their hungry light can’t steal my way. Softly now the wildfire dies down low, I feel a gentler heat begin to glow. [Chorus] Don’t pull me under. I rise through the water, through the fire, through the storm you named. Don’t pull me under. My heart beats louder than the damage you claimed. I stand in the open. I burn through the shadows you tried to own. Don’t pull me under. I finally know I can stand alone. [Bridge] I am not your silence. I am not your fear. In the deep I found my voice and now I hear it clear. Tide and flame around me, I walk through both unharmed. Every word you used to bind falls open from my arms. [Final Chorus] Don’t pull me under. I rise through the water, through the fire, through the storm you named. Don’t pull me under. My heart sings louder than the hurt you claimed. I stand in the open. I shine through the shadows you tried to own. Don’t pull me under. I finally know I am not alone.
