Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Momma looked away
when I came in the room
I learned that silence
could bruise like a spoon
They said my name
like it weighed too much
Like I was a shadow
nobody should touch
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep asking why
my life had to start this way
Carried like a secret
that the world forgot to say
[Chorus]
I was not supposed to be here
(but I am)
I was not supposed to breathe
(but I am)
Heard that I was broken
before I had a name
Still I’m standing in the ashes
same blood, different flame
[Verse 2]
There are days I fold
like paper in rain
Try to make a body
that won’t carry the shame
Every mirror tells me
I survived the worst
But surviving isn’t healing
it just hurts first
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep asking why
my life had to start this way
Carried like a secret
that the world forgot to say
[Chorus]
I was not supposed to be here
(but I am)
I was not supposed to breathe
(but I am)
Heard that I was broken
before I had a name
Still I’m standing in the ashes
same blood, different flame
[Bridge]
If I was made from ruin
then ruin made me strong
I am not the reason
for the thing that went so wrong
No more living like a verdict
No more wearing their cold blame
I may not have been wanted
but I learned to keep my flame
[Final Chorus]
I was not supposed to be here
(but I am)
I was not supposed to breathe
(but I am)
Heard that I was broken
before I had a name
Still I’m standing in the ashes
same blood, different flame
I was not supposed to be here
(but I am)
I was not supposed to breathe
(but I am)
I was never their ending
I’m the proof that I remained
Still I’m standing in the ashes
same blood, different flame

Sad song about how I was never supposed to be created. Momma didn’t like me. I was the product of a terrible act. I’m not even supposed to be here. Female
