[Instrumental] [Verse 1] I used to chase the morning train, Half-asleep, half-ashamed. Now I walk slow, coffee in hand, No rush to prove my name. [Verse 2] Those college nights feel far away, Like echoes under glass. The grief I wore has softened threads, Still woven through my past. [Pre-Chorus 1] I learned that healing isn’t straight, It bends and bleeds and bends again. But even broken bones grow strong, Where they once gave in. [Chorus] Now I build my peace, brick by brick, Plant wild roses where I wept. Every scar’s a signature line, On the story I’ve kept. Yeah, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve learned to stand, Without apology or plan. I’m not who I was back then, I’m something better, born again. [Verse 3] The mirror’s kind, though I’ve earned its gaze, Silver strands like comet tails. I don’t chase trends or beg to stay, I bloom beyond the veil. [Verse 4] Old friends fade, new souls arrive, We toast to things that last. No more pretending pain is style, I outgrew that mask. [Pre-Chorus 2] I still talk to ghosts sometimes, The girl I was, the ones I’ve lost. They whisper, “Look at you now,” And I smile at the cost. [Chorus 2] Now I build my calm, note by note, Sing softer songs I never wrote. Every tear turned melody, Every loss, a harmony. Yeah, I’ve burned and bloomed, I’ve come to see, I was always becoming me. [Bridge] There’s a freedom in surviving, In living past the pain. The thunder made me fearless, The rain just taught me pain. [Final Chorus] Now I love without the need to stay, Dream loud, but live in quiet ways. The girl I was would never believe, That peace could grow from grief. Yeah, I’m scarred, but I’m divine, Still unfinished, by design. Thirty, steady, still in bloom, And the world makes room. [Outro] Soft light spills across my face, No makeup, no disguise. I finally meet myself at last, And she feels like sunrise. [Instrumental]
