Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mama left a stain on the door
Daddy left dents in the wall
My shoes had holes by winter
I still wore them to school, all fall
Supper was a can and a crack
The table shook when he came in
I learned to read footsteps
Like weather about to spin
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my mouth shut tight
Counted coins like prayers
If I looked too long at the mirror
I could see him in there
[Chorus]
Born under a cracked roof
Still I made my way
Born under a cracked roof
Still I made my way
You can break my name
But you can't take my face
[Verse 2]
Spent my lunch on aspirin
For the ache in my head
Little brother slept in socks
On a mattress turned red
The sink coughed rust all night
The power blinked out twice
She said, "Stay small, stay quiet"
That advice cut like ice
I learned to hide my bruises
In the sleeves of an old black coat
I learned a smile can be a shield
When the house feels like it might explode
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept my mouth shut tight
Counted coins like prayers
If I looked too long at the mirror
I could see him in there
[Chorus]
Born under a cracked roof
Still I made my way
Born under a cracked roof
Still I made my way
You can break my name
But you can't take my face
[Bridge]
I don't hate the kid I was
Just the cage he lived in
Every locked door, every slammed word
I remember where it began
Now I carry fire in my chest
Like a coal I couldn't kill
If the world won't make room for me
I will, I will, I will
[Final Chorus]
Born under a cracked roof
Still I made my way
Born under a cracked roof
Still I made my way
You can break my name
But you can't take my face
Born under a cracked roof
I rose anyway
