Verse 1 One year ago, I was fading out Flatline thoughts, couldn’t hear my sound So close to gone, I felt death breathe Cold hands on me, counting heartbeats Woke up changed, yeah nothing stayed Same scars, but my mind escaped Mirror cracked but my eyes were clear I lost my past and I lost my fear Pre-Chorus They say pain breaks you down But it broke me open I wasn’t saved, I was found By the truth I was avoiding Chorus I died and I woke up free Yeah, I lost who I used to be This body’s cracked, but my soul’s alive They call it pain, I call it my second life I wouldn’t trade this truth for peace Wouldn’t rewind what it did to me I broke apart just to finally see This wasn’t the end — it was a rebirth in me Verse 2 Years of weight I couldn’t name Living perfect, scared of change Held my breath, hid all the light Afraid to lose what felt “right” Then everything I feared came true And somehow I survived it too What I protected kept me numb What destroyed me made me one Pre-Chorus Now I don’t beg for yesterday I don’t run from the pain What tried to take my life Gave it back in flames Chorus I died and I woke up free Yeah, I lost who I used to be This body’s cracked, but my soul’s alive They call it pain, I call it my second life I wouldn’t trade this truth for peace Wouldn’t rewind what it did to me I broke apart just to finally see This wasn’t the end — it was a rebirth in me Bridge (soft → build) If this is broken, let it stay I don’t need perfect anyway I needed scars to feel okay I needed death to feel awake Final Chorus (bigger) I died and I woke up real For the first time, I can feel If this is hell, then let it burn I found myself where there’s no return I don’t want back what I used to be I don’t want safe, I want honestly This was the day that rescued me The day I lived — the day I rebirthed me Outro (spoken / half-sung) This wasn’t the worst day of my life This was the one that gave it back
