[Verse 1] I packed my name in a borrowed case Left the key on an empty place Every goodbye had a different face Every promise broke at a different pace They called it fate when they turned away Called me difficult when I begged them to stay I learned how silence collects its pay And how a heart can bruise without showing the stain [Pre-Chorus] Now the room is still, but I hear every door Closing on the life I was reaching for [Chorus] I’m stepping out into the world on my own No hand to hold, no place called home I lost everybody, I lost everything Still there’s a small, stubborn breath in me Life dealt the cards, then it watched me fall Made me feel like I was never meant for it all I’m barely here, but I’m holding on To one little spark when the whole night’s gone [Verse 2] I wore their blame like a winter coat Kept every cruel word folded in my throat They took the years that I needed most Then asked why I wasn’t grateful for the ghost The mirror knows what I never say I’m tired of surviving another day But beneath the hurt, beneath the gray Something keeps turning its face toward the flame [Pre-Chorus] Maybe hope is weak, maybe hope is late Maybe it’s the part of me they couldn’t take [Chorus] I’m stepping out into the world on my own No hand to hold, no place called home I lost everybody, I lost everything Still there’s a small, stubborn breath in me Life dealt the cards, then it watched me fall Made me feel like I was never meant for it all I’m barely here, but I’m holding on To one little spark when the whole night’s gone [Bridge] If tomorrow comes quietly, I’ll let it in If all I can offer is a trembling hand I’ll give it anyway, I’ll begin again Not because I’m fearless Because I’m still here [Final Chorus] I’m stepping out into the world on my own And maybe someday this will feel like home I lost everybody, I lost everything But there’s still a small, stubborn breath in me Life wasn’t fair, and it left its mark But I can guard one ember in the dark I’m barely here, but I’m moving on Carrying that spark till the morning comes [Outro] No hand to hold, but I’m walking on One little spark, and the night moves on
