[Intro] I used to ask the ceiling What did I ever do Every quiet walk home Felt like it picked me to lose I hold you like a question You tell me it's a joke You laugh it off in seconds But your eyes already know [Verse] All that I walked through All that I’d seen Been bruised Why me, why me again I never got the truth You say, “Why you always probing? Can't we just let it be?” I'm just calling out the shadow You keep hiding from the heat [Pre-Chorus A → B] I chased every reason Like I could outrun the rain Tried to fix the story Before I learned my name You call my words a weapon I call them my open hands Every truth I ever bled out Left a scar that understands [Dual Chorus] I didn’t have to search for the answers They were hiding in the hurt I knew Every closed door, every hard lesson Making room for what I’m called to do I became the mirror You avoid but still repeat Showing you the angles You keep cutting from the scene All that I walked through made me able Every scar turned into proof You can curse me, you can hate me Call my honesty too deep I became the mirror So you finally get to see [Verse 2 Blend] I remember cracked voice saying “I can’t take much more” Holding all that silence Heavy on the bedroom floor You say, “Who gave you the right To pull curtains on my past?” But you stayed inside that story Till I cracked it like stained glass But somewhere in that aching Something steady grew I learned how to stand up Even when I shook right through [Pre-Chorus B → A] Now I see the pattern Running through those nights Every lonely question Led me toward this life I'm not here to fix you, nah I'm here so you can choose Do you face the bruises Or repaint them into blues? My truth is just a doorway You step through or you leave But once you hear it spoken You can't stuff it back to sleep [Lift / Call & Response] Why me, why me Was the only song I knew You can curse me, you can hate me But I’m holding up the view Now I sing, “Thank You For what I made it through” I became the mirror Till you finally say, “That’s me” [Final Chorus – Tighter Mix] I didn’t have to search for the answers They were written in the roads I chose Every dark turn, every hard lesson Lit a fire I can’t lose control I became the mirror You avoid but still repeat All that I walked through made me able Every scar turned into proof You can curse me, you can hate me But you can’t un-hear my speak I thought I broke, but I was changing My lessons made me capable I became the mirror So you finally get to see Every “not yet,” every “no” Built the strength I’m standing on I became the mirror Till you finally say, “That’s me” proof I learned how to stand up Even when I shook right through [Pre-Chorus B → A] Now I see the pattern Running through those nights Every lonely question Led me toward this life I'm not here to fix you, nah I'm here so you can choose Do you face the bruises Or repaint them into blues? My truth is just a doorway You step through or you leave But once you hear it spoken You can't stuff it back to sleep [Lift / Call & Response] Why me, why me Was the only song I knew You can curse me, you can hate me But I’ m holding up the view Now I sing, “ Thank You For what I made it through” I became the mirror Till you finally say, “ That’ s me” [Final Chorus – Tighter Mix] I didn’ t have to search for the answers They were written in the roads I chose Every dark turn, every hard lesson Lit a fire I can’ t lose control I became the mirror You avoid but still repeat All that I walked through made me able Every scar turned into proof
