She learned how to stay real quiet at night
Tiptoe tears under bathroom lights
Every word he threw still echoes loud
“Not enough” became her shadow now
Bruises faded, but the memories stayed
Smiling outside while her soul decayed
Friends would ask if she was doing okay
She’d just laugh and push the truth away
(Pre-Chorus)
And every mirror looked like an enemy
Every heartbeat felt like punishment to me
She kept fighting while the world couldn’t see
How close she came to disappearing silently
(Chorus)
She was standing on the edge of her mind
Trying to outrun all the pain inside
Dark thoughts calling her name at night
But she kept breathing, kept holding tight
Now the scars still sing when the room goes dark
Still feels broken in the deepest parts
But she found a fire buried underneath
And though the hurt remains, she finally believes
She survived
Yeah, she survived
(Verse 2)
There were nights she would break on the floor
Hands shaking while she locked the door
Trying to silence every voice in her head
Praying someday she’d feel alive instead
People only saw the girl who smiled
Not the storm she carried all the while
Every step forward felt hard to make
Healing ain’t fast when your soul still aches
(Pre-Chorus)
But slowly she started finding light
Learning pain and strength can coexist inside
Some wounds don’t fade, they just soften with time
And every sunrise meant she was still alive
(Chorus)
She was standing on the edge of her mind
Trying to outrun all the pain inside
Dark thoughts calling her name at night
But she kept breathing, kept holding tight
Now the scars still sing when the room goes dark
Still feels broken in the deepest parts
But she found a fire buried underneath
And though the hurt remains, she finally believes
She survived
Yeah, she survived
(Bridge)
No, the past didn’t vanish away
And some nights still feel the same
But the girl they tried so hard to destroy
Finally learned her voice
(Final Chorus)
Now she’s stronger than the fear she knew
Every broken piece became something new
Still got tears, still got memories too
But she ain’t letting pain decide the truth
And the scars still sing, but softer now
She wears her strength where the hurt was found
Every breath is proof she made it through
Yeah, the broken girl became unbreakable too
(Outro)
She survived…
Even when she thought she wouldn’t
She survived…
And that means something
