Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lost my light in a hallway
Carried it out in my hands
Then the floor came loose beneath me
And I had to stand again
First life gone, then the second
Like sand slipping through my fist
But I kept one small ember
I kept saying, “This is it”
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, but I was breathing
I was broke, but I was here
Every scar became a reason
Every night became a year
[Chorus]
I’m not done, I’m not done
I’m still here, I’m still here
I fell hard, I rose up
Third time’s key, third time’s key
I’m not the pain, I’m the climb
I’m not lost, I’m getting mine
Slowly now, I see it
My light come back to me
[Verse 2]
Started over with a suitcase
And a name I learned to wear
New streets, new walls, new silence
Same old fear in the air
People looked for me to break down
Like that’s all I’d ever be
But I built my bones from rubble
Turned the wreckage into seed
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, but I was breathing
I was broke, but I was here
Every scar became a reason
Every night became a year
[Chorus]
I’m not done, I’m not done
I’m still here, I’m still here
I fell hard, I rose up
Third time’s key, third time’s key
I’m not the pain, I’m the climb
I’m not lost, I’m getting mine
Slowly now, I see it
My light come back to me
[Bridge]
Let me be the one who learns
Not the one who stays in chains
Let me carry what was heavy
Let it turn into a flame
No more bowing to the empty
No more wearing all the blame
I have died and I have built
And I will build again
[Final Chorus]
I’m not done, I’m not done
I’m still here, I’m still here
I fell hard, I rose up
Third time’s key, third time’s key
I’m not the pain, I’m the climb
I’m not lost, I’m getting mine
Slowly now, I see it
My light come back to me
[Outro]
My light come back to me
I’m still here, I’m still here
Third time’s key
I’m still here

Prompt
I want a sad song about losing my light and slowing finding it again, and starting my life from scratch three times and not giving up or being the victim
