[Intro]
Yeah
Had to climb out the dark for this
You know who you are
Mhmm
[Verse 1]
Used to wake up heavy
Same four walls, same gray ceiling
Talking to my demons like
"Y’all the only ones that get my feelings"
Broken bed frame, late rent
Heart still stuck on a message she never sent
Lived in my head, lived in regret
Only thing I believed in was the debt
Then you pulled up, wild eyes
Arguing with the waiter over cold fries
Saw that fire in you, same kind
I been hiding in me this whole time
You said, "Why you always play the victim?"
I got mad, then your truth finally hit him
You weren't gentle, you were honest
You’re the chaos that kept my promise
[Chorus]
You’re so fierce, yeah, you fight me, then you hold me
Stubborn heart, push me back, then you unfold me
I was drowning in the dark, you were the wave that broke me free
I found success when I faced what hurt
You were the one who made it work
You’re so fierce, but you’re the one who saved me
[Verse 2]
Now I count blessings, used to count scars
Used to pray just to make it to tomorrow in my car
Now I pray that I never go numb again
‘Cause you taught me how to bleed and still stand
We clash like thunder in a small room
Slam doors, then we laugh in the same mood
You roll your eyes when I talk about pain
Then kiss my forehead like, "You’ll rise again"
You don’t like roses, say they die too quick
You want time, you want proof, not tricks
You call me out when I start to spiral
You the only one I let read my bible
All this gold on my chain still feels light
Compared to the weight you helped me fight
Got this view, got this life, got this name
But it’s you that put backbone in my fame
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I was all rage, all pride, all distance
You were sharp words, soft hands, pure resistance
You said, "Win for yourself, not to prove them wrong"
Now every step I take got your voice in my songs
If I ever lose track, start chasing that shade
Grab my face, tell me, "Boy, remember what we made"
If I’m shining, it’s ‘cause you saw through
Every ugly part of me and still said, "That’s you"
[Chorus]
