[Verse 1] I learned to smile on cue When the room went cold Kept my hands in my sleeves Kept my stories old Names stuck like gum On the bottom of my shoe I was ten years deep In a bruise they never knew [Pre-Chorus] Now I flinch at a laugh That sounds too sharp I build little walls In the shape of my heart But I see it now What they left behind Not a flaw in my soul Just a wound in time [Chorus] I am not broken I am becoming I am not broken I’m just unlearning All those holes they cut They do not own me I am not broken I am becoming [Verse 2] I say “it’s fine” too fast Then I hide for days I overread the room Like it owes me a way I people-please, then disappear Leave the door half-closed I joke before I trust That’s the armor I was sold [Pre-Chorus] Now I flinch at a laugh That sounds too sharp I build little walls In the shape of my heart But I see it now What they left behind Not a flaw in my soul Just a wound in time [Chorus] I am not broken I am becoming I am not broken I’m just unlearning All those holes they cut They do not own me I am not broken I am becoming [Bridge] If I go quiet, stay I’m still in the room If I pull away, it’s fear Not the truth I’m gathering up the parts They tried to erase Little by little now I give myself a name [Final Chorus] I am not broken I am becoming I am not broken I’m just unlearning All those holes they cut They do not own me I am not broken I am becoming I am not broken I am becoming (coming back, coming back) I am not broken I’m finally home in me
