[Intro]: I’ve been quiet with my thoughts again, Letting them sit beside me like they always do. Not enemies. Just reminders I never learned how to leave behind. [Verse 1]: I carried everything I couldn’t say Like it was weight meant only for my hands. Every night taught me how to stay awake, Every promise I broke still knows my name. I tried to disappear without leaving, Tried to become smaller than my fears. But the dark doesn’t forget you exist, It waits until you finally look at it. [Pre-Chorus]: I kept asking for a way out, Never asking what I was running from. I thought surviving meant becoming numb, But I was still bleeding just the same. [Chorus]: If I’m made from what I tried to hide, Then let it grow instead of rot inside. I won’t pretend I’m untouched by the fall, I just refuse to stay buried by it all. I am not ruined by where I’ve been, I am shaped by the dark that let me live. [Verse 2]: I spoke to my reflection like it might listen, Asked if it remembered who I was before. Every crack tells a story I survived, Not a failure I should be ashamed of. I don’t need forgiveness from the past, I just need the strength to stay present now. Some wounds don’t close β€” they teach you How to breathe without pretending you’re whole. [Pre-Chorus]: I stopped begging for clean hands, Started accepting the dirt meant I tried. I don’t need to be untouched to matter, I just need to keep standing. [Chorus]: If I’m made from what I tried to hide, Then let it grow instead of rot inside. I won’t pretend I’m untouched by the fall, I just refuse to stay buried by it all. I am not ruined by where I’ve been, I am shaped by the dark that let me live. [Bridge]: Let it break me open if it has to, Let the truth hurt louder than the lie. I’m done chasing the idea of perfect, I’d rather feel everything and stay alive. If this is where the light comes from, Then I won’t fear the ground anymore. [Final Chorus]: I won’t erase the nights that changed me, I won’t curse the weight I learned to hold. What tried to pull me under taught me How to rise without letting go. I am still here, still breathing through it, Still becoming something honest and real. This is not the end of me β€” This is where I finally begin. [Outro]: I stopped asking the dark to leave. I asked it to stop deciding who I am.
