[Verse 1]
Started out suffering
Kitchen floor, late night, just wondering
Why my phone dry, why my heart cry
Why it feel like every friend kept running
Yeah I been lonely
Four walls, ceiling fan, my only homie
Scrolling through memories, hurt in the gallery
Thought this life ending, that was the tragedy
But I made a little promise in the dark
Never giving up, even when it breaks my heart
Turned pain into prayer, fear into art
Now I wear these scars like a fresh new start (yeah)
[Chorus]
Through the suffering, through the lonely
I chose commitment over “only if you know me”
Love and loyalty, that’s my church
Blessed life growing from the dirt
I’m never giving up, I’m holding firm
Every hard season just helps me learn
Imma show you how much you’re worth to me
You’re a whole universe, you just can’t see (yeah, you’ll see)
[Verse 2]
You say you’re nothing
Voicemail shaking, voice low, hands clutching
You think your story just hurt and regret
You don’t see the gold in the tears you’ve shed
Look, I’ve watched you stand when your legs gave out
Watched you keep faith when your faith had doubts
That’s real commitment, that’s rare blood
That’s love that don’t drown in the flood
Loyalty ain’t just words in a text
It’s showing up when you a wreck, when you vexed
If your sky fall, I’ma be that earth
I’ma hold the weight, show you what you’re worth (hey)
[Chorus]
Through the suffering, through the lonely
I chose commitment over “only if you know me”
Love and loyalty, that’s my church
Blessed life growing from the dirt
I’m never giving up, I’m holding firm
Every hard season just helps me learn
Imma show you how much you’re worth to me
You’re a whole universe, you just can’t see (you’ll see, you’ll see)
