Becoming the spark

Verse 1

Asked for love, got a lesson instead

Hands were open, left with scars in my chest

I trusted words that were sharp as a knife

They took my warmth, tried to steal my light

I was freezing in rooms full of flame

Smiling through hurt, yeah I carried the blame

Every promise cracked, every truth bent

Had to learn the hard way what survival meant

Pre-Chorus

I hit my knees but no one came

So I stood up and I said my name

Chorus

Asked for love, got a lesson

Lost my warmth, now I’m the weapon

What’s dark in me is gonna shine light

Burning through the pain, yeah I ignite

Did it by myself, no hands to hold

Built from the ashes, heart turned cold

If this is fire, then let it start

They tried to break me—I became the spark

Verse 2

I bled truth while they played pretend

Gave my soul to people who couldn’t defend it

Every time I fell, I learned how to rise

Turned all that suffering into a spine

I don’t need saving, I paid that cost

Found myself in everything I lost

If love is war, then I survived

Came out scarred but still alive

Pre-Chorus

No prayers left, just will and breath

I made peace with the dark in my chest

Chorus

Asked for love, got a lesson

Lost my warmth, now I’m the weapon

What’s dark in me is gonna shine light

Burning through the pain, yeah I ignite

Did it by myself, no hands to hold

Built from the ashes, heart turned cold

If this is fire, then let it start

They tried to break me—I became the spark

Bridge (stripped / emotional)

I used to beg the night for mercy

Now the night bends first to me

If pain was meant to end me

Why do I feel this energy?

Final Chorus (bigger, heavier)

Asked for love, got a lesson

Every loss was a confession

What’s dark in me is gonna shine light

I survived myself—I earned this fight

Did it by myself, hear my name

From the ruins, from the flame

They wanted pieces of my heart

I kept the fire—I became the spark
