[Intro] (Mmm-hmm) [Verse 1] I used to think the pain was something to avoid Every crack in my shell I carefully sidestepped and evade But something shifted when you left me in pieces Now I'm finding beauty in the way things break The wounds you gave me turned to windows And through them I can finally see [Chorus] Thank you for breaking me open You shattered all I had thought I knew In these fragments of what we were I found a stronger truth Thank you for breaking me open Now I'm finally breaking through [Verse 2] Remember how I used to hold myself so tight Afraid to let a single feeling show But in the aftermath of our collision I was spilling over learning how to flow Your absence taught me fullness Your silence made me speak And all the walls you tore down Revealed the strength in being weak [Pre-chorus] Some nights I dance with the darkness Some days I cry 'til I laugh But every tear is a teacher And every heartbeat runs to the math Of who I'm becoming Of what I can be This beautiful wreckage Has set me free [Instrumental] [Chorus] Thank you for breaking me open You shattered all I had thought I knew In these fragments of what we were I found a stronger truth Thank you for breaking me open Now I'm finally breaking through [Outro] The pain you left behind Became my morning light And I'm not afraid to shine
