I didn’t choose this I didn’t run One night changed me— I was taken, I was gone They tell the story like it started in green But mine began in the in-between Took me (hey) Broke me (hey) Left me out there on my own Took me (hey) Shaped me (hey) Turned a boy into a stone It didn’t look like purpose It felt like loss Didn’t see the meaning— Just felt the cost I went through the fire — came back alive Lost who I was — found something inside Went back to the place that broke me before Not for revenge… but something more Came back different I’m not the same What broke me built me I came back changed Voice in the night said go where it hurts Back to the soil, back to the dirt No sword, no anger, no need to fight Just carried the truth and walked into light Same road (hey) New man (hey) Didn’t go back— I rose again I went through the fire — came back alive Lost who I was — found something inside Went back to the place that broke me before Not for revenge… but something more Came back different I’m not the same What broke me built me I came back changed Not luck. Not time. Not fate. Not chance. Just pain—turned into purpose Just wounds—that made a path I went through the fire — came back alive Lost who I was — found something inside Went back to the place that broke me before Not for revenge… but something more Came back different (came back different) I’m not the same What broke me built me I came back changed What broke me built me…
