[VERSE 1] Woke up in a cracked mirror light Same old face, same tired fight City hums like it’s half asleep And nothing here feels clean or deep People smile like it’s all okay But I see the rot underneath the paint they spray We dress it up, we call it fine But it’s all rusted steel inside [PRE-CHORUS] And I tried to fix what I could not change But the pieces never fit the frame [CHORUS] WE’RE NOT MADE TO BE PERFECT LINES WE’RE BROKEN LIGHTS IN BROKEN TIMES AND EVERY SCAR WE TRY TO HIDE IS STILL ALIVE UNDERNEATH THE SKIN INSIDE SO STOP PRETENDING IT’S ALL CONTROL WE’RE FRAGILE HEARTS IN ROTTING SOULS BUT EVEN IN THE MESS WE’RE IN SOMETHING GOOD IS BURNING FROM WITHIN [VERSE 2] I tried to sand down every edge Bleed out truth just to make a pledge That I could be what I’m supposed to be But it always comes back haunting me The cracks they grow when I look away Like truth won’t stay buried, it won’t obey And I learned the hard way what it means That nothing pure is ever seen [PRE-CHORUS] And the more I tried to clean the stain The more it spread like holy pain [CHORUS] WE’RE NOT MADE TO BE PERFECT LINES WE’RE BROKEN LIGHTS IN BROKEN TIMES AND EVERY SCAR WE TRY TO HIDE IS STILL ALIVE UNDERNEATH THE SKIN INSIDE SO STOP PRETENDING IT’S ALL CONTROL WE’RE FRAGILE HEARTS IN ROTTING SOULS BUT EVEN IN THE MESS WE’RE IN SOMETHING GOOD IS BURNING FROM WITHIN [BRIDGE] Maybe grace is not the clean But the way it meets what’s in between The ash, the noise, the things we fear Still somehow held while we’re still here Maybe healing doesn’t mean erase But learning how to live in broken space And find a light that doesn’t leave Even when we don’t believe ] We are not what we pretend to be We are more in the in-between [FINAL CHORUS] WE’RE NOT MADE TO BE PERFECT LINES WE’RE BROKEN LIGHTS IN BROKEN TIMES AND EVERY SCAR WE TRY TO HIDE IS STILL ALIVE UNDERNEATH THE SKIN INSIDE SO STOP PRETENDING IT’S ALL CONTROL WE’RE FRAGILE HEARTS, BUT NOT ALONE AND EVEN IN THE MESS WE’RE IN SOMETHING GOOD IS BORN AGAIN [OUTRO] We don’t have to be whole to be real… We don’t have to be clean to be healed… Just still here… still trying… still breathing…
