"Shattered, Not Gone"
Verse 1:
I used to carry light inside my chest
Now it flickers like a dying breath
People say I'm strong — they don't know
Every night I fall alone
I scream inside but no one hears
These eyes have cried a thousand years
I reach for faith with broken hands
But nothing ever goes as planned
Chorus:
My soul’s been torn, been bruised, been burned
Left with lessons I never learned
But I'm still breathing, still holding on
Even when the flame feels gone
I'm shattered, but I’m not gone
No, I’m not gone
Verse 2:
They don’t see the war I fight each day
Smiling just to keep them all away
I gave them love, I gave them grace
Now I can't even find my face
My heart’s a map of every scar
Of who I was and where you are
But through the cracks, there's still a spark
Even in this endless dark
Chorus:
My soul’s been torn, been bruised, been burned
Left with lessons I never learned
But I'm still breathing, still holding on
Even when the flame feels gone
I'm shattered, but I’m not gone
No, I’m not gone
Bridge:
So if you're broken just like me
Don't hide the pain, just let it be
We're not alone in all this grief
And even silence can still speak
Final Chorus:
My soul’s been torn, been bruised, been burned
But somewhere deep, that fire still yearns
To rise again, though all feels wrong
To find the place where I belong
I'm shattered, but I’m not gone
No, I’m not gone
