[Verse 1] [Guitar picking, soft acoustic] I used to fold myself smaller just to fit in his cage Every word was a weapon, every smile felt staged He said love was forever but it burned like a brand I was breaking in silence with the weight of his hands [Pre-Chorus] [Acoustic strums build, faint piano enters] But a girl can’t live forever in the ashes and smoke I cut the ties from the devil, learned my voice wasn’t broke [Chorus] [Kick drum heartbeat, layered harmonies, rising strings] Now I’m running through the fire like it’s turning to rain You showed me how it feels when touch doesn’t bring pain From a heart torn open to a safe place to land You don’t bruise me, you hold me — now I bloom again [Verse 2] [Acoustic steady strum, light percussion snaps in] You don’t flinch when I’m fragile, you don’t feed off my fear Your arms feel like freedom, every word is sincere You turn scars into stories that don’t poison my skin You’re the proof that the ending was where love could begin [Pre-Chorus] [Acoustic + strings swell, light synth pad underneath] And I don’t cry like I’m helpless when the night pulls me down You remind me I’m golden, not a ghost in this town [Chorus] [Full band lift: acoustic + drums + strings, soaring vocal harmony] Now I’m running through the fire like it’s turning to rain You showed me how it feels when touch doesn’t bring pain From a heart torn open to a safe place to land You don’t bruise me, you hold me — now I bloom again [Bridge] [Drop to just piano + voice, then slow build] I thought love was a grave, now it feels like a garden The seeds that were buried grew wild, disregarded But you water my roots, and I finally believe That the love that I wanted was always waiting for me [Final Chorus] [Biggest lift — drums, acoustic, strings, layered harmonies, pop shimmer synths] Now I’m dancing through the fire like the smoke disappeared You replace every nightmare with a truth I can hear From a heart torn open to a safe place to land You don’t bruise me, you hold me — now I bloom again [Outro] [Strip back to acoustic picking + soft reverb] I bloom again… I bloom again… With your hand in mine, I bloom again.
