Worth the fight

(Verse 1)

Yeah, I came from nights where the lights got shut off,

Hand-me-down dreams and a heart that was cut off.

Mama worked doubles, stress all in her eyes,

Learned how to smile while I swallowed my cries.

I gave my all to people who would take and disappear,

Left me picking up the pieces every single year.

Built walls so high nobody could climb,

Thought being lonely was just part of my life.

Got scars that I hide underneath my skin,

Lost myself trying to help everybody win.

Every red flag looked like love in disguise,

I was drowning in pain while they watched from the side.

(Pre-Chorus)

But every storm that broke me,

Every road that got rough,

Was leading me somewhere

When I thought I’d had enough.

(Chorus)

Now I’m standing in the sunlight after years of rain,

Found a kind of peace I never thought I’d gain.

I went through hell and back, wore the weight of the world,

Trying to be strong while I was still that hurt little girl.

Now when you hold me close, I don’t feel afraid,

For the first time in my life, I don’t feel like I need saving.

You make the noise fade out, make the chaos stop,

And somehow your arms became my favorite spot.

(Verse 2)

I remember wishing on stars nobody could see,

Praying someday someone would choose me.

Not for what I gave or what I could do,

Just for being myself, flaws and all too.

I used to think love was proving my worth,

Fighting for attention, always coming second or third.

Now it’s late-night calls and laughing till two,

Feeling understood every time I talk to you.

You don’t make promises you don’t intend to keep,

You show up every day, even when life gets steep.

And maybe that’s the thing that healed me the most,

You became my home when I felt like a ghost.

(Pre-Chorus)

Every scar has a story,

Every tear had a reason,

And somehow all that heartbreak

Led me into this season.

(Chorus)

Now I’m standing in the sunlight after years of rain,

Found a kind of peace I never thought I’d gain.

I went through hell and back, wore the weight of the world,

Trying to be strong while I was still that hurt little girl.

Now when you hold me close, I don’t feel afraid,

For the first time in my life, I don’t feel like I need saving.

You make the noise fade out, make the chaos stop,

And somehow your arms became my favorite spot.

(Bridge)

I started with nothing but hope in my chest,

A heart full of damage and a mind full of stress.

Now I’m looking at a future that finally feels right,

Not because life got easy, but because you’re by my side.

I fought every battle I thought I’d lose,

Walked through fire with holes in my shoes.

And if you’d told me then where I’d end up,

I would’ve never believed I deserved this love.

(Final Chorus)

Now I’m standing here stronger than I’ve ever been,

Every loss, every lesson made me who I am.

I went from surviving to finally living,

From always being empty to finally receiving.

And when the world gets heavy and life gets tough,

You remind me every day that I am enough.

After all the dar
