Learning how

Verse

I learned how to fold my anger

I learned how to lose in silence

So no one knew where I’d been

I know the sound of breaking

Called it “normal,” called it “home”

I grew up talking to shadows

Learning how to stand alone

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t fall from grace

Cause I was never held

But i learned how to rise

Without a hand to help

Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

I was never meant to lose,

or to be saved

I was built to break through fate

Verse

I learned the voice inside my head

Like a judge that never chose me

I learned to call my sins my own

Every dream felt like evidence

Of a life I almost lived

I stood one breath from the ending

Learning how to refuse the dark

Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

(was built to break through)

Bridge

No finish line waiting

No crown laid in gold

It’s just me, myself, and I

And I say it proud

I’m becoming what I

Was told I could not

(Ooooaaaa)

Final Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

I was never meant to lose,

or to be saved

I was built to break through fate

(never meant to lose)

(Never meant to be saved)

But I was built to break through fate
