[Verse 1] [Warm intimate vocal] [Reflective delivery] They told me time would heal it slow One careful step, one inch to go But nothing moved the way they said The map was wrong inside my head The deepest crack became a door The thing I feared became much more The colder nights, the heavier rain Were somehow washing out the pain [Pre-Chorus] [Growing emotional intensity] Some rivers run uphill Some fires begin with ice The universe keeps breaking Its own advice [Chorus] [Expansive emotional release] A broken heart can heal faster Than a heart that never breaks The world is not a straight line The world bends when it wakes Some wounds become the pathway Some endings rearrange Nothing moves the way we expect And that's what makes the change [Verse 2] [Quiet strength] I watched the pieces fall apart Like tectonic plates beneath the dark Yet under all the shifting ground A different kind of strength was found The fault lines drew another map The empty space became the path What disappeared was not the whole Just an old shape around the soul [Pre-Chorus] Some rivers run uphill Some fires begin with ice The universe keeps breaking Its own advice [Chorus] A broken heart can heal faster Than a heart that never breaks The world is not a straight line The world bends when it wakes Some wounds become the pathway Some endings rearrange Nothing moves the way we expect And that's what makes the change [Bridge] [Atmospheric] [Emotional guitar solo] No straight roads No simple laws The stars don't move The way we thought No straight roads No simple laws The heart knows things The mind forgot [Final Chorus] A broken heart can heal faster Than a heart that never breaks The universe is stranger Than the rules we try to make Some wounds become the pathway Some endings rearrange Nothing moves the way we expect And that's what makes the change [Outro] [Soft vocal] Some fires begin with ice... Some fires begin with ice...
