[Verse 1] You saw a cover Weathered by the rain A little bird with tired wings Carrying too much pain You saw the cracks You saw the scars You thought you knew the tale Without ever turning The pages underneath [Pre-Chorus] But stories aren't written In a single moment's view And hearts aren't measured By what they survive through [Chorus] Read the pages Read the tears Read the battles Read the years Read the mountains Little shoulders carried high Read the silence Read the storms Read the nights she stayed awake Trying to keep the world from breaking Read the pages Before you judge the sky [Verse 2] Read about the little girl Who grew up far too fast Read about the blame she carried That was never meant to last Read about the shattered trust The labels she believed Read about the thousand ways She learned to never leave Read about the scars Nobody else could see And the strength it took To become who she'd be [Pre-Chorus] Every chapter hurt But every chapter healed And every wound became a place Where light could finally build [Chorus] Read the pages Read the tears Read the battles Read the years Read the moments She thought she'd never survive Read the voices That called her home Read the people Who helped her find her own Read the pages And you'll understand why [Bridge] The brother she protected The sister she kept safe The child who stood in doorways Trying to shield the pain The woman who kept fighting When she wanted to let go The little bird who lost herself And still found her way home The Rune Warden The midnight fjord The wings she learned to trust The truth she finally spoke When she decided she was enough [Final Chorus] Now you've read the pages Now you've seen the whole The storms The scars The healing The soul And if you still judge me That's your story to write Because mine no longer lives In the shadows of your sight I've carried this book long enough Now I set it free [Outro] My name is Langley. My name is Littlebird. This is my story. And I survived every page. The End.
