[Verse 1]
I used to fold small
make my voice fit your room
smile through the bruises
like that made it cool
Locked in your chaos
too long, too deep
now I’m finding my pulse
I’m finally asleep
Kept my name in my throat
while you tried to erase
now I look in the mirror
and I know my face
You got used to my silence
I got used to the pain
but I’m done being weather
I’m done with the rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I cut that chain off
left that key on the floor
I’m not begging for love
that keeps score anymore
I’m breathing cleaner
I’m walking taller now
I’m putting my life
back into my own hands now
[Chorus]
I’m back, I’m back
watch me rise again
I’m back, I’m back
I don’t break for you (for you)
I’m done, I’m done
with the hurt you gave
I’m back, I’m back
I’m my own rescue (my own rescue)
[Verse 2]
New sheets, new habits
new late-night calls
my friends at the table
I don’t hide from y’all
I’m eating real food
I’m drinking water slow
I’m learning my body
was mine to know
Therapy notes on the dash
not a crash, not a scar
just a woman rebuilding
from the ground to the stars
I don’t need your permission
to laugh too loud
to take up my space
to stand in a crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
I cut that chain off
left that key on the floor
I’m not begging for love
that keeps score anymore
I’m breathing cleaner
I’m walking taller now
I’m putting my life
back into my own hands now
[Chorus]
I’m back, I’m back
watch me rise again
I’m back, I’m back
I don’t break for you (for you)
I’m done, I’m done
with the hurt you gave
I’m back, I’m back
I’m my own rescue (my own rescue)
[Bridge]
If I shake, I still stand
if I cry, I still move
every scar on my skin
is a line I lived through
You can keep your regret
I don’t need your reply
I’ve been building a home
in the space you denied
[Final Chorus]
I’m back, I’m back
watch me rise again
I’m back, I’m back
I don’t break for you (for you)
I’m done, I’m done
with the hurt you gave
I’m back, I’m back
I’m my own rescue (my own rescue)
I’m here, I’m free
I’m alive, I’m brave
I’m back, I’m back
and I’m here to stay
