Knots in the thread

Verse 1

I learned to stitch my edges straight, So no one saw the fray. Smoothed the wrinkles at the office, Found the right words left to say. I wore the smile that kept the peace, The daughter everyone praised. The friend who never shook the table, Just quietly gave away her space.

Pre-Chorus

But late at night, when the room goes still, I hear another heartbeat underneath. A voice that doesn't know the script, A soul that's tired of walking softly.

Chorus

These knots in the thread, They're not mistakes I have to hide. Every pull, every tear, Every place I came untied. I thought the beauty lived in perfect lines, In every color staying where it's led. Now I see the story's in the tangles, In the knots... in the thread.

Verse 2

There's a version of me buried deep Beneath the careful weave, Messy hands and crooked questions, Not sure what she believes. She doesn't always know the answer, She doesn't always stay composed. But she's learning how to breathe again Instead of wearing someone else's clothes.

Pre-Chorus

And maybe all this unraveling Isn't falling apart at all. Maybe it's the fabric shifting So l can finally stand up tall.

Chorus

These knots in the thread, They're not mistakes I have to hide. Every pull, every tear, Every place I came untied. I thought the beauty lived in perfect lines, In every color staying where it's led. Now I see the story's in the tangles, In the knots... in the thread.

Bridge

So let the pattern wander, Let the edges show. Let the places I resisted Be the places where I grow. A tapestry without the knots Would only be a sheet. But the broken turns and twisted strands Are what make it look like me.

Final Chorus

These knots in the thread, They're the proof that I have lived. Every scar, every turn, Every piece I had to give. I don't need to be a perfect line, I don't need to stay who l've been led. The most beautiful parts of me Are the knots in the thread.

Outro

And if I'm still unraveling, Maybe that's not something to dread. Maybe I'm finally becoming The pattern hidden in the thread.
