[Verse 1] They said I changed, I lost my way Like I just vanished day by day But I remember every breaking part I just went quiet, falling apart I learned to bend, I learned to hide I kept the truth tucked deep inside Not gone… just covered up By all the weight I carried too much [Pre-Chorus] But underneath the fear and noise There’s still a pulse, there’s still a voice I’m listening now While it’s showing me how To uncover and feel To mend and finally heal [Chorus] I was never broken, just buried alive Still breathing underneath, still worthy to fight Still reaching through, honoring the dark inside I never left… just failed to be met Now I’m digging through what I survived With steady hands and open eyes Every piece I thought I lost Was shining through what it all cost ← 🔥 (your fixed line) [Verse 2] I don’t shame the ways I stayed The parts of me that learned to fade They kept me here, they kept me safe Even when I couldn’t stay Now I’m brushing off the dust Learning how to hold my trust Not judging, not tearing down Just letting truth come back around And show me what needs to be found [Pre-Chorus] And I feel it now… rising slow Not something new, something I’ve known The parts that I buried The “too much” I carried Here, whole, and finally me Showing what I need to see [Chorus] I was never broken, just buried alive Still breathing underneath the fight Still reaching through the dark inside I never left… I just went quiet Now I’m digging through what I survived With steady hands and open eyes Every piece I thought I lost Was waiting there the whole damn time [Pre-Chorus / Lift] And I feel it now… rising slow Not something new, something I’ve known The parts coming back online Hell yeah… it’s about damn time [Bridge (soft, intimate)] Hand on my chest… I feel the proof “I’m still here”… yeah, that’s the truth Whole, wild, and free Damn… it feels so good to be me Whole, wild, and free Damn… it feels so good to be me
